• Nuestra vida está hecha de tiempo; nuestros días se miden en horas, nuestro sueldo se mide por esas horas, nuestros conocimientos se miden por años. Aprovechamos unos minutos de nuestro ajetreado día para tomar un café. Volvemos corriendo a nuestras mesas, miramos el reloj, vivimos pendientes de las citas. Sin embargo, el tiempo se acaba y nos preguntamos en el fondo de nuestro corazón si esos segundos, minutos, horas, días, semanas, meses, años y décadas se han empleado de la mejor manera posible. En otras palabras, si pudieras cambiar algo, ¿lo harías?

  Cecelia Ahern

• I..." He struggled to answer. "When everything was quiet, I went up to the corridor and the curtain in the livingroom was open just a crack... I could see outside.

• Necesitamos más arte lento: arte que retenga el tiempo como un jarrón retiene el agua: arte que surja de modos de percepción y creación cuya habilidad y tenacidad hagan pensar y sentir; arte que no sea meramente sensacionalista, que no transmita su mensaje en diez segundos, que no sea falsamente icónico, que se enganche a algo profundo de nuestra naturaleza. En una palabra, lo contrario de los medios de comunicación de masas.

• All my cuts are always about three hours, at the start, mainly because any scene in the movie that's 90 seconds, I probably shot a five-minute version of. If you just extrapolate that through the whole movie, I have a very long version of every scene, usually because, if there's one funny joke, I'll shoot five because I don't know if the one I like is going to work. I'll get back-ups because my biggest fear is to be in previews, testing the movie, and a joke doesn't work, but I have no way to fix it because I have no other line.

• We live in a world, it's very hard for Americans to understand that every 20 seconds a kid dies, a kid under the age of five, right, dies somewhere on the Earth because of lack of access to clean water and sanitation.

• I saw a commercial for an above-ground pool, it was 30 seconds long. Because that's the maximum amount of time you can picture yourself having fun in an above-ground pool. If it was 31 seconds, the actor would say "The water is only up to here? What do I do now? Throw the ball back to Jimmy? Or put some goggles on and look at his feet?"
