People tell me I'm in a genre kind of movie, but it never crossed my mind that The Matrix was genre.

It was like she was the heart of it.
Carrie-Anne Moss

Most people prefer to think that their resentment is entirely the fault of the person they resent, and that twisted logic seems to make sense in their minds. But it makes no sense to me at all...

Later I realized that it was good that I did not become one, for most police cases involve misery and wretchedness-not crimes and scandals.

The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us - it's all junk, all trash, tidbits of news. The average TV ad has 120 images a minute. Everything just falls off your mind. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Ray Bradbury
