“If we're ever going to get the world back on a natural footing, back in tune with natural rhythyms, if we're going to nurture the Earth and protect it and have fun with it and learn from it - which is what mothers do with their children - then we've got to put technology (an aggressive masculine system) in its proper place, which is that of a tool to be used sparingly, joyfully, gently and only in the fullest cooperation with nature. Nature must govern technology, not the other way around.” IfsWorldWayChildrenEarthUsedMotherFunNaturalTechnologyProtectToolsHaving FunTunesCooperationAggressiveNurtureMasculineCowgirls Author:Tom Robbins
“I come from a documentary background and my natural tendency, as a filmmaker, is to make a movie, if I have something to talk about. If it's not about anything that matters, I don't feel like doing it. I'm not against people who make movies just for fun, but I'm not one of those guys. I just want to provoke thinking and debating about certain issues.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantFeelsMatterGuyCertainFunNaturalIssuesBackgroundsTendenciesFilmmakerProvokingDocumentariesJust For Fun Author:Jose Padilha
“claims about what's 'natural' have long been used to reinforce traditional gender roles and values. ... Even the notion that women should have children at all is based on the idea that a woman's inherent and most important role is that of mother.

“I love photo shoots where I can be like a pinup, not myself. Where I can be feminine, glamorous, dark not like in real life. I hate it when you go in and they want you to be 'natural,' to be yourself. I just hate it. I love having fun. When they ask you to smile, I hate it. Of course I smile in my real life, but to do it on cue, that's not spontaneous. I'd rather do something that's like a little movie, like a little story, rather than just me, I feel naked.” WantFeelsLittlesI CanRealStoriesHateCoursesAsksFunNaturalDarkI HateReal LifeNakedHaving FunBeing YourselfFeminineSpontaneousGlamorousI SmilePhoto ShootsPinup Author:Eva Green
