I am looking for the disconnected connection

With photography, I like to leave a lot of the story, even to myself.

I think that's one of the reasons it's nice to leave out a lot; it can become a lot more personal to people if there is room for them to put their own experiential time track on it.

When I'm shooting in other cities, I'm just trying to make it look like California.

I never plan anything in an analytical way before I shoot, but when I look back there seems to be kind of a primary color palette.

I can't even imagine what it is like to make a movie that lasts two hours.

It's always really scary to release new work.

I never thought about the green, but LA has a lot of greenery.

It's hard for me to approach [a film] as a still image now that I know exactly what it takes to make a movie. I mean, I know what it takes to make a movie that lasts five minutes.

I lived in London for small amounts of time, and in Florida and New York.

I always work with the same composer, his name is Ali Helnwein. I don't have a musical background.

Spirituality cannot be an excuse for not making money!!! Just a justification for failure!

But she didn't want to recall things. She wanted to live things — or as a compromise, relive rather than reminisce.

The unconditional love for you child, it's truly amazing.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

There is no safer. There’s not even safe, never has been.

Is instinct in the head or in the heart? Off the field, I follow my good instincts which steer me in the right direction. Sometimes on the field my head leads me astray. That's what I believe.

Financially, it was very successful. Which is the most important thing. That is the only way you get to make another movie. It's very simple. The market will value you.

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

The mythic is everywhere.

Anything more low, obscene, feculent, the manifold heaving's of history have not cast up. We shall come to the worship of onions, cats and things vermiculite.
