“Every ten years there is a new generation of actors.”

Everything was happening all the time. You never needed television.

When you kill somebody in the movies, it matters, whereas in literature it can be allegorical.

I’ve been following what’s happening in Colombia because it’s the country of my childhood.

I chose to treat the homosexuality like I would treat any other form of sexuality.

Colombian humor is very black, very sarcastic.

Hallucinatory – that’s just the way everyday life is, in Colombia. All the time, you say to yourself, did I just see that?

Every time, I try to make something different.

Never before in our country’s history has a generation been so empowered, so wealthy, so privileged – and yet so empty.

The glory of each generation is to make its own precedents.

The job is never done and every generation has to fight again.

A transplanted Irishman, German, Englishman is an American in one generation. A transplanted African is not one in five!

Ineluctably, the insults inflicted in one war call forth new wars of retaliation, which may be waged within months of the original conflict or generations later.

I hold that a strongly marked personality can influence descendants for generations.

We must follow the wisdom of the Brundtland Report. We must pursue development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Things which matter cost money, and we’ve got to spend the money if we do not want to have generations of parasites rather than generations of productive citizens.
