I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.

When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

It's about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That's what I was thinking about.

It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.

How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts!

A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few.

A person of character seeks true happiness in living a life of purpose and meaning, placing a higher value on significance than success.

No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal

It is the act of a coward to wish for death.
