Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.

It's the difference between art and propaganda or quality entertainment and propaganda. I'm not interested in convincing. The pulpit in churches is for that purpose. The pulpit for politicians is for that purpose. It doesn't belong in movies.

Art and mass entertainment and propaganda, they can all be plotted on the same graph, but there is a difference.

All art is propaganda. It is universally and inescabably propaganda; sometimes unconsciously, but often deliberately, propaganda.

Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have.

While cats can be infuriating, little old women in fur coats, they make me laugh. Of course, dogs, horses and my highly social chickens are dear to me, too.
