Patrick Steptoe quotes

It [an ethical problem with in vitro fertilization] depends on whether you're talking ethics from the standpoint of some religious denomination or from just truly religious people. The Jewish or Catholic faiths, for example, have their own rules. But just religious people, who will make very devoted parents, have no problem with in vitro fertilization.

Many viewers may come out of the theater not satisfied, but they won't be able to forget the movie. I know they'll be talking about it during their next dinner. I want them to be a little restless about my movies, and keep trying to find something in them.

There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.

I got the sense that Alabama is a place where people don't want handouts and don't much care for people talking out of the side of their mouth.

Facts are what pedantic, dull people have instead of opinions.

My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs.

Find a need and fill it. Successful businesses are founded on the needs of people.
