你
"The best films are the ones that make you think, that challenge you, that stay with you long after you've left the cinema."
"I think the most important thing is to be honest and truthful in your work."
You can't wait for others to arrange your life; what you want, you must strive for yourself.
"I try to make films that are like a good meal: satisfying, but leaving you wanting just a little bit more."
I think the best movies are the ones that make you feel something.
I try to make movies that are like little worlds that you can step into.
And I hope you will come back here to Harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world's deepest inequities…on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.
If you believe that every life has equal value, it's revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. We said to ourselves: "This can't be true. But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving."
I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "Dad, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree." I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I'll be changing my job next year…and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.
