Unnamed entertainment industry moguls are now telling the New York Times that they intend never to work with Mel Gibson again. After all, how dare Mel Gibson challenge the public by producing a film that spurs public discussion, that pushes the envelope, that takes an old story to a new level. How dare Mel Gibson follow his own passion as a filmmaker. How dare he make $20 million on the opening day box office! ~Laura Ingraham

My filmmaking education consisted of finding out what filmmakers I liked were watching, then seeing those films. I learned the technical stuff from books and magazines, and with the new technology you can watch entire movies accompanied by audio commentary from the director. You can learn more from John Sturges' audio track on the "Bad Day at Black Rock" laserdisc than you can in 20 years of film school. Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

People should decide "are you willing to spend all this money to go to Mars?" I think the average person on the ground would never spend that amount of money; they have to spend it on something that makes sense and this is definitely saving our planet. ~Felix Baumgartner

I don't usually think of my writing as a "challenge" because I enjoy the process so much. I suppose that's what's helped me to avoid "writer's block" all these years. ~Melody Carlson
