"When children have nothing to do now, they immediately switch on the TV, the computer, the phone or some kind of screen. The time they spend on these things has increased. “But children need to have stand-and-stare time, time imagining and pursuing their own thinking processes or assimilating their experiences through play or just observing the world around them… It’s very freeing being creative for no other reason other than you freewheel and fill time."

That’s why people are always talking on their phones, or looking at their phones, it’s because they don’t want to be alone with their thoughts."

"Tax collectors contended that Ms. Storey, who is a practicing lawyer when she is not making documentary films, was engaged in a hobby, not a business, because she enjoyed filmmaking, and wasn’t turning a profit, despite some considerable efforts to do so. That contention sent shivers through the ranks of documentary filmmakers, many of whom are in the same boat much of the time."
