“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.

NY is the city it is today in part because of the contributions from generations of artistic visionaries

Britain still has the most reliably beautiful countryside of anywhere in the world. I would hate to be part of the generation that allowed that to be lost.

I’M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.

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.
