Any great movie you watch has some element of darkness or loss or some suffering in it. That's what makes the fun parts fun.

And as I was sort of doodling, I was thinking, surprise and fear - probably fairly similar so let's just lose surprise. And that left us with five.

In the end, passion and hard work beats out natural talent.

They're expecting us to make mistakes, and they've set up a process that allows us to correct for that and do it again and iterate. So I think that's a real key to the films that we've made.

Sometimes suffering is a weird attraction.

There's something really emotional about not having any sound. That allows, I think, the audience to participate more actively and kind of imagine what are they talking about there?

The soul is like a caged bird, it waits for the right person to open the door and set it free.

The darkest clouds are the best ennobling of the sun, because the sun is most wanted under the darkest clouds! The evil is condemned to glorify and to honour the good!

If one does not wish bonds broken, one should make them elastic and thereby strengthen them.

The sequester has forced liberals to clarify their conviction that whatever the government's size is at any moment, is the bare minimum neccessary to forestall intolerable suffering.

I never thought I could travel unless I had a wife or someone to share it with. You don't necessarily need that, but I am the type of person that wants to share a lot.

I know no other way out of what is both the maze of the eternal present and the prison of the self except with a string of words.

If kids say I'm just a gospel rapper, I won't be able to get in their cars.

I think acting is magic. If I tell you all about myself it will spoil it.
