“For my 10th birthday, what I wanted was Beatle boots and a Beatle wig....” — Ron Howard Quote

“Everything's always about page-turning, right? What's next? So, if you create questions for audiences, then they'll want to know the answer. Or they begin to formulate possible outcomes. That's the game we play when we're hearing a story unfold. That's part of what sucks us into a movie.”

“It's in my stars to invent; I was born on Madame Curie's birthday. I have this need for originals, for innovation. That's why I like Charlie Parker.”

“The return of my birthday, if I remember it, fills me with thoughts which it seems to be the general care of humanity to escape.”

“Interventions are really emotionally exhausting and I would never ever want to have one. In the same way, I would never want to have a surprise birthday party. That would be horrible.”
