"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."

John Cage

"Sleepless in Seattle” would never be made now, because she has a nice guy and a nice life, and her only problem is that she’s miserable and unhappy and she doesn’t know why. And she hears this guy on the radio and she starts to fall in love with the idea of this man, and believes that they’re soulmates and all that. But if I were to pitch that movie today, they’d say, “Well, she can’t have a fiancé, because that would make her unlikeable."
