"As for Dickens - well, yes, Great Expectations is his best novel. But, for sheer drama, nothing tops the "Tempest" chapter in David Copperfield - Steerforth's body washing ashore, and Copperfield saying "I saw him lying with his head upon his arm, as I had often seen him lie at school"."

"“It’s the best coming-of-age film ever made. It’s the story of these four guys who drop out of school and decide not to go to college, and it follows what they do that summer as they try to figure out what to do with their lives.”"

"It’s very dark but almost funny at some moments. It’s about someone who is wrongly accused of a school shooting and sort of ends up being put away for it and being on Death Row. At moments it’s really funny, and at moments it’s really quite hard to read.”

"Bob Fosse’s long, dark look in the mirror is a perfect bookend to 8½. Roy Scheider gives the performance of his career and an all-new meaning to the phrase “It’s showtime, folks!” This came out the year I graduated from high school, and it literally changed my life."

"When this song comes on, for me and my friends from school, this is our anthem. I mean, I was literally 19 at the 2012 Olympics in London and this was the first song I played when I stepped onto the track. It really gets me up for it."
