I always breathe cricket.

Too much of the education system orients students toward becoming better thinkers, but there is almost no focus on our capacity to pay attention and cultivate awareness.

When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.

Education is the single most important job of the human race.
