David O. Russell Ideas Quotations

The idea that anyone would think their religious ideas make them morally superior is just preposterous.

I think if religion closes discussion or exchange of ideas or curiosity about other views, it's not true to its core.

When most people turn on their TVs, they don't expect a frank discussion of philosophical ideas in their practical context. Or any context.

I think audiences deserve the benefit of the doubt. I prefer to be surprised by them rather then just assume they'll react negatively to any new idea.

The religion itself may have some great ideas, but I can't take it seriously if it's blatantly exclusionary.
