In 2008, I was one of millions united for hope and change. As 2010 dawns, change looks to me like more of the same. Instead of peace, we got more war. Instead of health care reform, we have an industry win that requires Americans to buy health insurance without any real cost controls. – Jodie Evans
On climate change, we have only a handful of years to make massive changes, according to the scientists. The politicians have to act, and only the people can make them, because Royal Dutch Shell’s not going to do it. – Lydia Millet

It’s amazing how powerful a piece of work can be and how it can influence people and change. It’s pretty interesting. – Mel Gibson

In a play, you only get one chance, and you have to get it perfect. In a film, you can change and fix it whatever way you want, so really, there’s a pretty big difference. – Kara Hayward
