Michael Crichton	TV captures attention, people spend their lives staring at screens	Looker director commentary	1981	The television can capture attention in a way, and take you away from real life. I think it's become more true as a quality of human attention, that not necessarily so much for television, but I sometimes think that more and more of humankind spends their days looking at screens. Meanwhile, kids are neglected, spouses are neglected, relationships, families, everything's neglected, we're looking at the screen. And whether it's the internet now, or whether it's DVD's, iPods, whatever it is, we're not, we're not in the present; we're in the image.

So, you know what you do? You find out what's important and you make boxes. And in this box, you have what it takes to work with somebody like Miles, and in this box, you have what you take home to Janey and to Hope, that's how you get through.

Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what he doesn't need. Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn. It's wrong, wrong, wrong.	0:27:11 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Harrison Ford (actor), Paul Theroux (novel), Paul Schrader (screenplay)	It's an absolute sin to accept the decadence of obsolescence.

Steven Jesse Bernstein	More Noise Please	Prison	1992	..can't live without all this goddamn noise. Maybe I need the noise to write poems, make love and eat.

Maybe we are the kind of people who need to have what we don't want just to get along, to do the basic things... Myself, I could not sleep last night. I could not close the window, either.

Timothy "Speed" Levitch	Running from the cops all my life	The Cruise	1998	...According to them I was running from the cops for a month before they caught up to me. ...and I felt like a fugitive. But you know what? Every day I feel like a fugitive. It never occurred to them that I am running from the anti-cruise every day. And when I was up in front of the judge for my arraignment, the judge said my biggest problem with this case is that this guy, this current person we're judging, ran from the police for a month. And if I could've spoken, of course I wasn't allowed to speak, I would've said, it's been a lot more than a month. I've been running from you people all my life, all my life, and I'm going to keep running.	0:35:38 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Harrison Ford & River Phoenix (actors), Paul Theroux (novel), Paul Schrader (screenplay)	We eat when we're not hungry	Mosquito Coast	1986	We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're not thirsty, we buy what we don't need, and throw away everything that's useful. Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what he doesn't need. Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn. It's wrong, wrong, wrong.	0:27:11 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Harrison Ford (actor), Paul Theroux (novel), Paul Schrader (screenplay)	It's an absolute sin to accept the decadence of obsolescence.	Mosquito Coast	1986	It's an absolute sin to accept the decadence of obsolescence. Why do things get worse and worse? They don't have to; they can get better and better. We accept that things fall apart, but they don't have to. Things can last forever.	0:27:51 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Steven Jesse Bernstein	More Noise Please	Prison	1992	..can't live without all this goddamn noise. Maybe I need the noise to write poems, make love and eat. I'm going to hang a sign out my window that says, "more noise, please," or, "thank you for making noise." Maybe we are the kind of people who need to have what we don't want just to get along, to do the basic things... Myself, I could not sleep last night. I could not close the window, either. I tried to tear the window out of its frame.	0:29:13 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Timothy "Speed" Levitch	Running from the cops all my life	The Cruise	1998	...According to them I was running from the cops for a month before they caught up to me. ...and I felt like a fugitive. But you know what? Every day I feel like a fugitive. It never occurred to them that I am running from the anti-cruise every day. And when I was up in front of the judge for my arraignment, the judge said my biggest problem with this case is that this guy, this current person we're judging, ran from the police for a month. And if I could've spoken, of course I wasn't allowed to speak, I would've said, it's been a lot more than a month. I've been running from you people all my life, all my life, and I'm going to keep running.	0:35:38 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
