I like smart movies about smart people, and enjoy it when most of the facts are on the table and we can contemplate them together.

The problem with being sure that God is on your side is that you can't change your mind, because God sure isn't going to change His.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

A few actresses have all but set up shop as women of a certain age who attract younger lovers. I think of Susan Sarandon, Cameron Diaz and Isabelle Huppert.

I am utterly bored by celebrity interviews. Most celebrities are devoid of interest.

Clouds do not really look like camels or sailing ships or castles in the sky. They are simply a natural process at work. So too, perhaps, are our lives.

There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

Wes Anderson's mind must be a...

Wes Anderson's mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born. It immediately becomes more than a series of events and is transformed into a world with its own rules, in which everything is driven by emotions and desires as convincing as they are magical.

Many thrillers follow such reliable formulas that you can look at what's happening and guess how much longer a film has to run.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

' The Lucky One' is at its heart a romance novel, elevated however by Nicholas Sparks' persuasive storytelling. Readers don't read his books because they're true, but because they ought to be true.

From a dramatic viewpoint, there are few professions that grant their members entry into other lives, high among them cops, doctors, clergymen, journalists and prostitutes. Perhaps that explains why they figure in so much television and cinema. Their lives are lived in the midst of human drama.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

There's something depressing about a young couple helplessly in love. Their state is so perfect, it must be doomed. They project such qualities on their lover that only disappointment can follow.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

And I think both the left and the right should celebrate people who have different opinions, and disagree with them, and argue with them, and differ with them, but don't just try to shut them up.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

In my reviews, I feel it's good to make it clear that I'm not proposing objective truth, but subjective reactions; a review should reflect the immediate experience.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

To make others less happy is ...

To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

One difference between film noir and more straightforward crime pictures is that noir is more open to human flaws and likes to embed them in twisty plot lines.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

When I am writing, my problems become invisible and I am the same person I always was. All is well. I am as I should be.

I'm told we movie critics praise movies that are long and boring.
