    "When I wrote it, Iraq didn't exist," Lucas said, laughing.

    "We were just funding Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons of mass destruction. We didn't think of him as an enemy at that time. We were going after Iran and using him as our surrogate, just as we were doing in Vietnam. ... The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable."

    This song really is a real guided tour throughout all of the things I tend to hate about myself. We all hate things about ourselves. It’s all of those aspects of the things we dislike and like about ourselves that we have to come to terms with if we’re going to be this person. I think it’s really honest

    He looked at me as if he hated my guts. He looked as if I had despoiled his fiance, murdered his mother and burned down his house. He looked at me as if I owed him money.

    The party must fight with all its power and with every necessary strategy against the attempt to isolate it and throw its energy back upon itself. The party must also conduct a resolute struggle against the tendency to construe “party work” only in the sense of inner party work as well as against the tendency to make an artificial separation between mass work and inner party work.

    The job of children isn’t to learn how to use screens or technology. It’s to interact with the three dimensional world.

    Their job is to learn the rhythms of a slow summer, to learn about the wonders of a butterfly, and the making of pasta sauce. It’s to learn the wonders of peeling an orange or an apple. These are real things.

    I think that's obvious by the way Indy has turned out. He even said in the film that he's not the kind of father that says, 'Eat your food, go to bed, brush your teeth!' He's not that kind of guy at all. He's a very liberal parent for the 1900s.

    Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are. The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.

    In fact the incongruity posed no
    problems for McCrindie; indeed there
    was an strong appeal in the fact that
    General Dodonna, whom he impersonated in the film, was the leader of the rebel force.


    Star Wars, was to a certain extent, a
    matter of belated icing on the cake of a
    career which had been one of complete
    integrity to himself. It was characteristic
    of McCrindle that he used his position in
    Equity to agnate for bonuses for those
    actors who had made the success of Star
    Wars possible.

    Computer games don't affect kids. If Pac-Man had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

    Fearless is not the absence of fear. Fearless is living in spite of the things that scare you.
