Dr. Strangelove was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just cant believe they actually blew up the world after that. – Gary Ross
Ultimately, so much Dr. Seuss is about empowerment. He invites us to disappear into our imagination and then blows the doors off what that can mean. – 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
I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first theyre going to love Harry Potter, or they may love The Hunger Games, but after that, theyre going to love the act of reading and wonder, What else can I read? – Gary Ross
