“The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about”

“Foaly: Confidence is ignorance. If you're feeling cocky, it's because there's something you don't know.”

“There is something about yourself that you don't know.”

“Can you disbelieve in something you don't know about?[…] It isn't that I don't believe but that I don't know.”

“I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.”

“You'll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.”

“I know it's important to do more than just complain when there's something you don't like. You need to try to do something about it, or you're nothing but a whiner.”

“A lot of people who are in the movie business don't really know much about movies, and they certainly don't know movie history. You have to even find a code when you're talking to these people—you can't use the references that you would use when talking to somebody who knows movie history. When you go in to pitch something, it depends what you invoke. You can't invoke anything really before 1980 with these people because they don't know what you're talking about. It's limiting. They get annoyed. They get offended that you are somehow trying to expose the fact that they don't know things, and make them feel inadequate. Which is of course not the point, or why you do it.”

“You don't ever really learn anything you didn't know when you were thirteen.”

“How clever you are, to know something of which you are ignorant.”
