At the end of the day, if you don't identify with the main characters, no television show will work.

I like the idea of reading into people's faces when they're not emoting. Some people are fascinated, some are sympathizing.

People have a natural tendency to read emotions out of faces, so when you see a face that is hyperreal but without the life behind the eyes, it's really off-putting and intriguing.

That exact moment when you're about to realize that this might be a dream is my favorite thing.

Shooting videos with lots of effects is like shooting a bunch of puzzle pieces.

I like the feeling of keeping people off-balance and having the audience not knowing where I'm coming from or keeping that mysterious.

A lot of the music video stuff I've worked on is mostly me pitching ideas, and then if [the artists] have notes or thoughts, I'll integrate them into the idea.

The way I look at stories is often from far outside, like a god's point of view, and also very, very subjective.

If artists do have ideas, they're often not great.

Even my nighttime dreams are very, very rooted in reality. They just start to become surreal, little by little.

Obviously the actors are incredible at being the audience surrogates in this crazy universe.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10, 000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10, 000 times.

Of course I believe in love despite four divorces. There is nobody who doesn't believe in love. But marriage - that fits some people but obviously not me.

I did not resign from politics because of Bofors. I resigned because I do not know how to play petty politics. I did not know back then and I don't know now either.

I know this because I understand now what love really feels like. The kind that consumes you. Love holds the power to break you. It holds the power to complete you.

Every time John Travolta assaults a masseur, a scientologist gets their wings.

The Lord is letting the wheat and the tares mature before he fully purges the Church. He is also testing you to see if you will be misled. The devil is trying to deceive the very elect.

Shakespeare has been praised in English more than anything mortal except poetry itself. Fame exhausts thought in his eulogy.

It's nice to say or it's great to ask, are we limiting opportunities for women? But do we even have each other's support, frankly, on our way there?

If you have a thrust to make at your friend's expense, do it gracefully, it is all the more effective. Some one says the reproach that is delivered with hat in hand is the most telling.

Hate gets going, it goes round, it gets older and tighter and older and tighter, until it holds a person inside it like a fist holds a stick.
