“In my mind android is a metaphor for people who are physiologically human but behaving in a nonhuman way.”
Paul M. Sammon, Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner

“The biggest excuse for film is that it is a film. It’s a game, an art for a bunch of people who sit in a dark theatre. The light hits them and then they go home, and it’s more or less over. But a good film, or a cautionary one . . . A darkened theater is a safe place to say things that mean something.”
