Urban Environment Quotes

• ¿Se extenderá tanto la expansión urbana que la mayoría de la gente perderá todo contacto con la naturaleza? ¿Llegará el día en que el único pájaro que vea un niño estadounidense sea un canario en el escaparate de una tienda de animales? ¿Llegará el día en que el único animal salvaje que conozca sea una rata avistada durante un paseo nocturno en coche por algún tugurio de la ciudad? ¿En el que el único árbol que toque sea el de plástico que da sombra a sus regalos la mañana de Navidad?

• Architects in urban planning are talking about this but they're not talking about it yet I don't think at that level that [Buckminster] Fuller is talking about when he talked about putting a dome over Manhattan, which is to say an attempt at integrating all of these different technologies in a way that makes for a city that, without having an actual dome, thermodynamically manages the heat flow for that urban environment and therefore makes it so that it is a highly efficient machine for a living or a dwelling machine as he would have preferred in terms of thermodynamically optimizing it.

• I wanted to make sure the focus [in The Land] was on human beings themselves and their decisions, but still connected to the urban environment that people associate as being black. I think I was able to make a film without commenting on "black this or black that" and you still feel the presence of it. There's no one character who's saying "we're all black and we're all in this struggle." It's that you just feel it. Some of that is because we get the sense from a lot of independent films that black people struggle all the time.

• You can't find an uglier urban environment than the centre of Hollywood, but then you go to Griffith Park, you go to the beach, you go to the mountains, and it's rural. I live up in the Hollywood Hills and I have frogs, owls, coyotes, mountain lions - but I'm ten minutes from the centre of the city.

• There's an aesthetic theme, which is cities at two o'clock in the morning. Not cities packed with people going out to clubs and dancing but desolate, empty streets. It's off-putting but there's a strange comfort to it as well, that desolate urban environment.

• Empecé a estudiar herboristería y plantas comestibles que existían en la naturaleza. Y entonces me di cuenta: "Vale, genial. Sé hacer fuego con palos y sé construir un refugio, pero vivo el 90% de mi vida en un entorno urbano, así que estas habilidades no me van a servir de mucho porque en Los Ángeles no crecen árboles de los que pueda coger una rama y hacer fuego, porque esa madera no es propicia para ello. Así que empecé a aprender técnicas de supervivencia urbana.

• You know, I don't really understand a suburban environment. I want to be out in the woods, I want to be where it's wild, I want to wake up and hear birds, I want to walk outside and see a gaggle of turkeys bouncing across my lawn - I want to be someplace like that - or I want to be right in the middle of an urban environment.
