I Always Heard Criticism Is The Tax

I Grew Up On Certain Movies, Particular Movies That Said Something To Me As A Kid From Missouri, Movies That Showed Me Places I'd Yet Traveled, Or Different Cultures, Or Explained Something, Or Said Something In A Better Way Than I Could Ever Say. I Wanted To Find The Movies Like That.

My Family Worry For Me Because I'm Gonna Burn In An Eternal Pit Of Fire.

I Always Liked Film As A Teaching Tool - A Way Of Getting Exposed To Ideas That Had Never Been Presented To Me. It Just Wasn't On The List Of Career Options Where I Grew Up.

I Didn't Understand This Idea Of A God Who Says, "you Have To Acknowledge Me. You Have To Say That I'm The Best, And Then I'll Give You Eternal Happiness. If You Won't, Then You Don't Get It!" It Seemed To Be About Ego. I Can't See God Operating From Ego, So It Made No Sense To Me.

I've Always Believed Happiness Is Overrated, You Know? It’s Those Difficult Times That Inform The Next Wonderful Time, And It’s A Series Of Trade-offs, Of Events, Of Wins And Losses.
