“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people.

Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”

“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
