They should’ve waited at least 100 years before adding sound to movies.

Scripts bore me. It's much more exciting not to know what's going to happen. I don't think that plot is important. If you see a movie of two people talking, you can watch it over and over again without being bored. You get involved – you miss things – you come back to it ... But you can't see the same movie over again if it has a plot because you already know the ending ... Everyone is rich. Everyone is interesting. Years ago, people used to sit looking out of their windows at the street. Or on a park bench. They would stay for hours without being bored although nothing much was going on. This is my favorite theme in movie making – just watching something happening for two hours or so ... I still think it's nice to care about people. And Hollywood movies are uncaring. We're pop people. We took a tour of Universal Studios in Los Angeles and, inside and outside the place, it was very difficult to tell what was real. They're not-real people trying to say something. And we're real people not trying to say anything. I just like everybody and I believe in everything.

A key design principle for me is Ephemeralization: doing more with less until we can do everything with nothing.

One of the best jokes I’ve ever read

Good taste is a privilege, bad taste is a gift

There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth…only Crew.

Any phrase-making yokel can become a world center

The end of a melody is not its goal

Succumb to joy! By all that is happy or holy, I exhort you to frolic & gambol, to chuckle uproariously, & to delectate and felicitate with hilarity & rapture—let jollity and merriment seem words too slight to evoke the nature of your beatitude—be joyous, & be infectious with joy

“The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.”
