Maxim Interview
Ebert talks about the impact his role as a movie critic had on movie viewers:
I think we put the notion into the minds of some kids that they wanted to grow up to be movie critics. If we did, that was our great success. I don’t mean they did do it for a living, but that at a young age they learned to be more demanding about the movies they saw.
Tavis Smiley interview
Ebert discusses her involvement in the new documentary, Life Itself, about her late husband, film critic Roger Ebert.
But I think that his philosophy on life, on empathy, on walking in another person’s shoes, you know, trying to get into the head of a person of a different race, a different gender, different circumstances, different economic situation, having empathy, you know, being your brother’s keeper, your sister’s sister, that’s what I hope. I mean, things like that are really the things that I think are the most important.
