Jonathan Kozol Quotes
Competitive skills are desperately needed by poor children in America, and realistic recognition of the economic roles that they may someday have an opportunity to fill is obviously important, too.

Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person.

No human being can give you 1,000 percent on every single take or shot, so you need to let them know what you're heading for. It's important that the actors know they're being looked after and being recorded in a way so they can do their best.
