I'm a kind of private guy.

I am an obsessive flyer, myself.

Yeah, I was born in Montreal and I go back to Vancouver and Toronto a lot, so I have a sense of being Canadian, and I was raised by two Canadians, and my wife is Canadian, so yeah, I feel it.

Most people see a documentary about the meat industry and then they become a vegetarian for a week.

I think it's a mistake for young filmmakers to just buy digital equipment and shoot a feature. Make short films first, make your mistakes and learn from them.

Directing 'The Office' is kind of like someone going, 'Would you like to drive my Lamborghini?' And I'm like 'Yes, I would like to drive your Lamborghini. That sounds like fun.'

Comedy and horror are cousins; they're related. They both come from storytellers who want to specifically affect the audience and elicit specific reactions during the movie.

I'm a believer that people need to understand that filmmaking is not a perfect process for anybody. It is a process in which you find the film and the film finds you. And that is every film.

With each one of my films, I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.

Really, it's the director's job to disappear and allow the movie to just feel.

This ‘Knowledge’ manifested in 1958! That day I became a ‘Gnani’ (the enlightened one)! The day before that, ‘I’ too was agnani (ignorant of the Self), wasn’t I?

There is a property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eye can integrate all parts, that is, the poet.

Slowly I swam up from the bottom of a black sleep.

See everything: overlook a great deal: correct a little.

I've always loved brainstorming with other writers, and I consider having my work critiqued a part of that brainstorming.

Ps 119:89-91: The settled Word in Heaven makes for a solid foundation on earth and a safe path for today.

The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities-a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.

Not a perfect soul, I am perfecting. Not a human being, I am a human becoming.

Jesus did not say: 'One of you go', but 'All of you go': we are sent together.

My hope is that flexible working and varying shift patterns will give workers a taste for idling and that they will gradually demand greater reductions in the length of the working week.
