Famous quotes by Roger Ebert:

"I don't think he's an a-, ... But if he's going to persist in making bad movies, he's going to have to grow accustomed to reading bad reviews."

"A lot of people didn't [have sex] in high school in the 1950s, ... My favorite actors include Robert Mitchum and Clint Eastwood . They don't look anything like me."

"[If you like little films about birds you might also consider] The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. ... could be a surprise underground hit, because it is so warm and moving."

"Most of us do not consciously look at movies."

"I am utterly bored by celebrity interviews. Most celebrities are devoid of interest."

"No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough."

"Beguiled by George S. Bush's easy smile and casual indifference to the details, we are on the brink of electing him to office. This isn't choosing a president, it's casting the lead in a sitcom about the presidency."

"Every great film should seem new every time you see it."

"Doing research on the Web is like using a library assembled piecemeal by pack rats and vandalized nightly"

"Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you."

"If a movie isn't a hit right out of the gate, they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy."

"If a movie is really working, you forget for two hours your Social Security number and where your car is parked. You are having a vicarious experience. You are identifying, in one way or another, with the people on the screen."

"You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can't take your eyes away from it... Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane."

"Because I don't give the studios advanced quotes or an advanced look at my reviews. I think the readers deserve to read my reviews before the studios do."

"All over the web there are some very good critics and it's become for people who are interested. It's become a very good way to get to reviews and involve yourself in discussions."

"But the fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday."

"The right really dominates radio, and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment."

"I don't think Bush was legitimately elected President."

"And I think both the left and the right should celebrate people who have different opinions, and disagree with them, and argue with them, and differ with them, but don't just try to shut them up."

"Catholic theology believes that God gave man free will, and you can't give somebody free will and then send in a play from the sidelines."
