Jaws’ has turned into one of those films that when you see it on TV, you turn it on, and you can’t turn it off. So, in that regard, I’ve seen it a million times. It’s the only film I’m aware of that could be released now for the first time and have the same impact that it did then. You can’t say that about a lot of movies. Richard Dreyfuss Read Quote

I love the ideals of my country. But I hate that we’ve been so denied any real knowledge of the world and don’t have the education to think clearly, so we vote against our economic interest and believe in our most shallow first thoughts of fear and hatred. Richard Dreyfuss Read Quote
I knew I was a manic depressive when I was 13 or 14, and I loved it. I always told people what I had, and I was always cresting on a manic wave. I used it, willingly and happily, and it was an extraordinary experience. When I got hit with the depressive side – Boom! – yes, it was horrible and unendurable, but that’s part of the story.
