independent thinking documentaries
I think independent filmmakers, documentary filmmakers - they are journalists.
kids thinking world
Storytelling was a way to see the world bigger than the one you were looking at, and that had great appeal for me. I think since that was part of my upbringing, it became part of me, and I wanted to pass it along to my kids and my grandkids.
moving thinking keep-moving
I don't think about when it's going to stop and what you do before it stops. You just keep moving.
fake-people i-am-what-i-am facelifts
I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.
people development dominance
People are becoming more and more aware of how the dominance of development and business is altering their lives and, in particular, their own heritage.
film
The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.
taken successful thinking
When I became successful, I put up a caution. I didn't think it was fair to have the shadow of that kind of success thrown on my family. And I was cautious about being taken by things that could destroy you.
movie book night
I don't know what your childhood was like, but we didn't have much money. We'd go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book.
moving ecosystems issues
Now is not the time to repudiate environmental balance, but rather it is the time for all of us to work together - politician, advocate, rancher, scientist, and citizen. Only by doing this will the United States move forward and be a leader in environmental issues and ensure sustainability to our delicate ecosystem.
compromise
I'm not good at compromise.
opportunity people together
Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.
persons right-now
You’re never going to be the same person you are right now.
beautiful cities world
San Franciscans are very proud of their city, and they should be. It’s the most beautiful place in the world.
country war car
I was raised in California during the Second World War and into the '50s and everything was fine, everything was great. The sun always shone, everybody looked healthy and wore ties and smoked in restaurants, and there were cars for everybody - except us, because I came from a lower class neighbourhood. But [in France] I realised there was a different point of view, so when I came back to America a year and a half later I was much more focused on my own country culturally and politically.
