A Quote by Edward Zwick
The Beatles in 1963 came to America and became international celebrities, but Bobby Fischer was one of the first, as Elvis was, more in terms of the message created around him.

Hip-hop kind of absorbed rock in terms of the attitude and the whole point of why rock was important music.

The life of a chess master is much more difficult than that of an artist - much more depressing. An artist knows that someday there'll be recognition and monetary reward, but for the chess master there is little public recognition and absolutely no hope of supporting himself by his endeavors.

Is Bobby Fischer quite sane?
