I like amateur things.

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.

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see

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.

In the underworld, reality itself has elastic properties and is capable of being stretched into different definitionsof the truth.

If Pavlov tested his cat he would have failed.

Know your value, accept nothing but the best.

There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.

How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.

Choices are powerful things. In fact, they're more powerful than most things.

Grace means forgiveness-period.

I don’t understand why people take pictures of mimes. Everyone looks like a mime in a picture.

I believe that Israel is one of our most important friends in the world.

I guess, first and foremost, I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
