• Mientras el presupuesto original de "Mary Poppins", de cinco millones de dólares, seguía creciendo, no vi una sola cara triste en todo el Estudio. Y eso me ponía nervioso. Sabía que la película tendría que recaudar 10 millones de dólares para que llegáramos al punto de equilibrio. Pero aún así, no había sacudidas de cabeza negativas. Ni profetas de la fatalidad. Incluso Roy estaba feliz. Ni siquiera me pidió que le enseñara la película inacabada a un banquero. Me asaltó un pensamiento horrible: supongamos que el personal había admitido por fin que yo sabía lo que hacía.

• I think "Avatar" is kind of a unique category where people are enjoying the unique theatrical experience even though they may have seen it on the small screen. They want to have that immersive, transportive experience. "2001: A Space Odyssey" played for three years at the Loews cinema in Toronto. I remember that. It just kept playing. People wanted to return to that experience. That may not be the best example because I think "2001" took 25 years to break even.

• I do not remember very many things from the inside out. I do not remember what it felt like to touch things, or how bathwater traveled over my skin. I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break. Even now, when people lean down to touch me, or hug me, or put a hand on my shoulder, I hold my breath. I turn my face. I want to cry.

• There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll swear I can't see it that way.
