I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.

Failure's a natural part of life.

I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.

And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, 'how do we live?'

Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

Art is not disposable. If you want it, you have to hold it and smell it and touch it and read the credits and enjoy it and put it on your wall.

Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.

I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

The words are purposes./The words are maps./I came to see the damage that was done/and the treasures that prevail.

Well, comedy is a great weapon of attack. It's not a great weapon of support.

All progress is due to the unreasonable person.

I just love the ideal of the surreal quality of putting it on a shoe.

The wise trusts not only to his physical eyes - thus he can see clearly.

Tough toenails, tiger. What you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.
