• It is not understood that before life an individual decides to
  live. A self is not simply the accidental personification of the
  body's biological mechanism. Each person born desires to be born.
  He dies when that desire no longer operates. No epidemic or illness
  or natural disaster - or stray bullet from a murderer's gun - will
  kill a person who does not want to die.

  Seth

• There's been a lot of talk about body cameras as a silver bullet or a solution. I think the task force concluded that there is a role for technology to play in building additional trust and accountability, but it's not a panacea, it has to be embedded in a broader change in culture and a legal framework that ensures that people's privacy is respected and that not only police officers but the community themselves feel comfortable with how technologies are being used.

• Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
  squandering your unquoted mirth,
  which keeps the ground, and never soars,
  while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
  tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
  goes like bullet to its mark;
  while the solid curse and jeer
  never balk the waiting ear.

• I want to try to apply my abilities sometimes to make families happy, so I have to make movies at a venue that are not gratuitously violent, that are not using bullets and bloodshed, but are using things like magic and fantasy and enchantment and the imagination. To me that's just all positive stuff. But I am eclectic and I still like to make movies for the midnight audience as well.

• When it's real world rules, it will not matter how big you are? When a bullet hits you in the head, you die. It all becomes about how much heart you have when you go into a world that is so scary, that assesses you and finds you either as an asset or full of crap.
