All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater.

Filmmaking is a thousand choices a day and it's important to just let those choices potentially be informed by something deeper.

I don't believe that narrative works when it's trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth.

I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws.

You ought to know that October is the first Spring month.

Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.

Dyspepsy is the ruin of most things: empires, expeditions, and everything else.

When the nature of the thing is incomprehensible, I can acquiesce in the Scripture: but when the signification of words is incomprehensible, I cannot acquiesce in the authority of a Schoolman.
