Anna Deavere Smith

Mean, Black, Living

Ayelet Waldman

Women, Men, Father

Perhaps my children will one day pledge their loyalty to the Republican Party. Or perhaps they'll dismiss my liberalism as mild pap, and become anarchists.

Ayelet Waldman

Loyalty, Children, Parents

Ginnifer Goodwin

Time, Children, Snow

When I first envisioned 'Funny Games' in the mid-1990s, it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable.
Michael Haneke

Funny, Human, Made

Music, Science, Against

Guy Ritchie

Life, Movies, Suffering

Girl, Human, Tell
