Roger Ebert World Quotations

In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.

On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.

It's the same the world over. A Hollywood production comes to town, and the locals all turn movie crazy.

In the world of acting, many are thin but few are talented.

I know aliens from other worlds are required to arrive in New Mexico, but why stay there?

In the world of bad movies, 'Death to Smoochy' is a towering achievement.

What in the world is a leave of presence? It means I am not going away,

We must try to contribute joy to the world.

Because we are human, because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live.

We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.
