History is full of examples of people who clamp down after they began to enjoy too much freedom. Freedom can lead to instability, anarchy, and confusion. So there can be a moral counter-revolution. – Gary Ross
You cant tell your kids to read if youre just watching television. They have to see you read. And in that respect, I think its important to walk the walk. Its a wonderful shared time. – Gary Ross
Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the 50s, and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone, as is complexity, contradiction, and an uncertain future. – Gary Ross
