“Throughout the movies' golden age, the Western enriched Hollywood financially and artistically. But in the 1970s, the genre lost its audience appeal to fantasy films of the 'Star Wars' stripe, which told more or less the same story - elemental animosities leading to an armed showdown - but at a faster tempo, and in outer space.”

“In 'Se7en' and 'Fight Club,' Fincher proved his suave mastery of film violence; in Zodiac, his way of clarifying the many clues in a murder thriller. As he showed in 'The Social Network,' the director also knows that no wound is more toxic than a friend's betrayal.”

“One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.”

“Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.”

“The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.”
