Quentin Tarantino

I liked the idea of creating a new pop-culture, folkloric hero character that I created with 'Django' that I think's gonna last for a long time. And I think as the generations go on and everything, you know, my hope is it can be a rite of passage for black fathers and their sons. Like, when are they old enough to watch 'Django Unchained'?

American Director

Toni Servillo

I think that beauty can injure you to death. It can cause an injury that can never be cured. Or it can so traumatise you, your life changes direction. The beauty of the harmony of nature that is forever lost, or a daily rite that you perform, or diving into the sea for a swim. Those experiences are going to mark you.

Italian Actor

Drew Barrymore

I think that we all have to have that rite of passage of dating the tortured artist who seems cooler than we think we are; we aspire to be like them, and we're excited that somebody is turning us on to new music or a new lifestyle.

American Actress

American Musician

Understanding cultural background is crucial since rites can have deep religious and spiritual significance.

Cultural Sensitivity

Rites vary widely between cultures; what's common in one society may be unknown in another.

Varied Ceremonies

Rites often have a formal or solemn tone and are taken very seriously by participants.

Formality and Solemnity

Social rites aren't always formal and can be as simple as day-to-day customs or traditions.

Broad Interpretations

Many social rites symbolize common human experiences and transitions, making them relatable.

Universal Experiences

Social rites can occur in informal settings, like family dinners or community gatherings.

Informal Settings

 There's not really a lot of community support around it. There's really no ceremony, rituals, or rites. And I think, with a death, you have a funeral, you celebrate the life, and there's a lot of community support, and it's something women don't have with miscarriage. Which is too bad because, of course, it's a very common and very traumatic experience.
