“There is a sort of creative purity in an independent film, in the passion of the director, the passion of the crew. They're not getting a whole lot of money, so you know they are not there because they want to get rich. Instead, they are there because they want to make a movie. In the bigger films, I remember when I used to do those, it's just a job for a lot of people, so there is less of an intense energy devoted to the whole project.” PeopleKnowsWantWholeJobsRememberFilmUsedPassionEnergyCreativeRichDirectorsProjectsBiggerIndependentIntensePurityDevotedLots Of MoneyCrewRemember WhenGet RichIndependent FilmPassion And Purity Author:Amy Irving

“The truth is that family values, as used by the American Family Association, Dan Quayle, and the southern Baptists, has nothing to do with either family or values, nor does it really have anything to do with homosexuals, abortionists, or pornographers. Those groups actually only serve as windmills to tilt at. The true agenda is power - power over the intellectually weak, emotionally immature, and ethically deficient Americans who are incapable of critical thinking and independent decision-making, and who are easily manipulated by the basest of human emotions - fear and the desire for revenge.” ThinkingHumansDoeUsedDesireValuesDecisionEmotionGroupsAtheismTruth IsWeakIndependentCriticalPositive AtheismRevengeAgendasDecision MakingSouthernAssociationIncapableHomosexualCritical ThinkingBaptistsImmatureFamily ValuesHuman EmotionsAmerican FamilyTiltWindmillsSouthern Baptist Author:Morris Sullivan
