Strong Quotes
-
While we have a very strong popular culture, the roots of American culture are very shallow, and we put emphasis on how a movie does as far as the box office goes.

Which is why emphasis has shifted away from filmmakers and fallen on movie stars and business people.

Being a survivor doesn't mean being strong - it's telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever.

All these things are qualities of survivors.
