I'm really not a person who consumes a lot. I don't have a sports car.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I'm making some of the greatest art being made now. It'll take the art world ten years to get around to it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

In America, you watch TV and think that's totally unreal, then you step outside and it's just the same.

Anything worth doing does not have to be done perfectly - at first.

There is no true understanding of Biology without Chemistry. And there's no true understanding of Chemistry without Physics.

You cannot grow more hours in the day. However, you can make better use of those hours.

Historically, filmmakers always fall in love with every frame, but now that even neophytes are given final cut, this love affair carries with it serious economic implications.

Where I am now, you're very much at everybody else's mercy. You have no control over your career in a lot of ways. It's just important to know what your own goals are, because that's empowering.
