The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Barry Levinson

• The public doesn’t know what to believe anymore. We don’t know what stories are supposedly true, this idea of ‘fake news.’ We watch it on what I guess you would call a split-focus. It’s half entertainment and half mystery.
• Well it was sent to me, well because almost everything that is written in Baltimore is sent to me. And David Simon, who was a writer for the Baltimore Sun, spent one year following the homicide squad in Baltimore and he chronicled that period of time.
• A lot of time mistakes are very interesting – you look for the behaviour that’s not the one you expect.
• We excuse movies like ‘Independence Day’ that really lack logic and say, ‘It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s a ride.’ I thought a movie was a movie and a ride was a ride.
• If you create a visual that actually captures the imagination, that’s not real. It will look real, and that will spread at such lightning speed that by the time it’s found out, it has already done its damage. It’s a very, very scary time that we’re living in. I say it’s an age of absurdity.
• When I began to think about the head of the family, the storyteller, the rise of television which became the new storyteller, the break-up of the American family as an idea and then Avalon came.
• At the end of the day, you can’t do a copy of somebody.
• We are a divided nation in the worst sense of the word, and we don’t hear the other side.
• I’m interested in the relationships of people. I’m interested in the darker moments within us. All those aspects of human behavior, I’m fascinated by. But in the times we’re in, those are hard movies to make. So if I can do it at HBO, fine.
• You can’t tell the story of the thousands of people whose lives were destroyed by Bernie Madoff because there are thousands of stories. What you can do is to start inside, and that’s the picture that you do, which becomes like a Greek tragedy in that regard – that whole collapse.
