I don't know what has happened to movies but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.

I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations.

Class is often invisible in America in the movies and usually not the subject of the film.

Movies are very subjective.

Well I get my subject on Wednesday night I think it out carefully on Thursday and make my rough sketch on Friday morning I begin and stick to it all day with my nose well down on the block.

I think the worst and most insidious procrastination for me is research. I will be looking for some bit of fact or figure to include in the novel and before I know I've wasted an entire morning delving into that subject matter without a word written.

Admittedly a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman or to an old boot for that matter. In fact both homo - and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot and you can save a lot of money that way.

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

Being a mother is hard and it wasn't a subject I ever studied.

These people are very unskilled in arms... with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished.

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women I admire them. But like all men I don't understand them.

Lord Lord how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!

There are three subjects on which the knowledge of the medical profession in general is woefully weak they are manners morals and medicine.

When I talked to my medical friends about the strange silence on this subject in American medical magazines and textbooks I gained the impression that here was a subject tainted with Socialism or with feminine sentimentality for the poor.

Clearly if it is sensible to hold a referendum on independence it is crucial that we have one on marriage. It is the only way the country can move forward on this issue. Let all those who have a view on this subject place their trust in the Scottish people and let Scotland decide.

There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.

Man is subject to innumerable pains and sorrows by the very condition of humanity and yet as if nature had not sown evils enough in life we are continually adding grief to grief and aggravating the common calamity by our cruel treatment of one another.

Noah and his family were the only loyal and obedient subjects to the legal power: they alone were saved.

Outside of the Constitution we have no legal authority more than private citizens and within it we have only so much as that instrument gives us. This broad principle limits all our functions and applies to all subjects.

To know ourselves is agreed by all to be the most useful Learning the first Lessons therefore given us ought to be on that Subject.

There's always a learning curve where you've got to learn what your subject is all about.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

The current leadership of the Labor party react to the idea that working-class students might study the subjects they studied with the same horror that the Earl of Grantham showed when a chauffeur wanted to marry his daughter.

France after the month of May will share trust with the current leadership of the United States which on many subjects has tended to take useful positions in our view.
