White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.

Choices of right or wrong are not presented to you in black and white. If they were, I'm sure most people would choose white.

My characters make incomprehensible decisions until you stand in their shoes. Then it makes more sense. Life is very rarely black and white, and most people are trying to do their best. I try not to judge.

We want to live in the black and white, but we don't. The world is gray. And, I'm always fascinated by people who are clearly, 'This is black and this is white, and that's the way life is.' Life always has something to say about that.

When people have too many choices, they make bad choices.

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.

My life is littered with bad decisions.

Life is about choices. Some we regret, some were proud of. Some will haunt us forever. 'Black Rain' was very much about choices. The message - we are what we chose to be.

If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'

We don't live in a world that's black and white.
