Boredom is usually what spurs either bad decisions or any decision at all.

If you're constantly moving, you can get in a monotony that's just as equally boring as sitting still for a long period of time.

I live in Florida and people are crazy here. And I say that lovingly.

I'd meet a new filmmaker that I'd always loved, and I'd think, "Great! I'm in the right place." It's a weird way to look at it, but I don't care as long as I'm able to make stuff that I want to make.

I don't think that there's necessarily a side to drama that has to be completely bleak. You have to have a flicker of humor 'cause everyone has a flicker of humor, something they find funny in life.

I sublet place to place with my fiancé. We don't really have a home. I haven't had a proper home for years.

I've never really dreamed of owning a home. I don't think you go into the arts and also dream of owning a home.

I wish I could tell people what I'm directing next, but I can't.

Let this be my final lesson. Everyone and everything has a time to die.

We should amuse our evening hours of life in cultivating the tender plants, and bringing them to perfection, before they are transplanted to a happier clime.

It enhances our sense of the grand security and serenity of nature to observe the still undisturbed economy and content of the fishes of this century, their happiness a regular fruit of the summer.

Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.

There are few things that will take you further in life, than your ability to make a good presentation.
