Zitat des Tages von Warren Beatty:
Lenin said that people vote with their feet. Well, that's what's happening. They either go, or they don't go. It's all politics. It's all demographics.
I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn't have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service.

To say that people would cease to come to California if they would have to pay more taxes is to underestimate the advantages of being in California - mightily.
I have a day job. I can make movies when I want to.
My mother and my father were teachers. My grandmother and my grandfather were teachers. This is something I really know about. Even when I was a kid, it was a profession my father couldn't stay in, because he couldn't make enough money.
Organized labor, if they're doing a responsible job, is going to organize the pooling of small amounts of money to protect the interests of the people who are not rich.
When you mutilate movies for mass media, you tamper with the hearts and minds of America.
