I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.

I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.

But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.

There's nothing quite like the idea of failing spectacularly to excite a film maker

The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.

One of the things I love about cinema is the range.

I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.

I might have a guitar or a piano on set to play something for the actors.

I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.

I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.

I've spent my life hearing people trying to apologize for music.

In order to be successful you must decide to be intentional about what you do, how you live, and who you are becoming.

For your every tear, know that I'll always be here. To bare one pain we both will share, know I'll never disappear.

Plus, if you think carefully, when you fall in love with someone not for her lookay, don't you think it's purer? It would last longer as physical aged but personality grows

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.

It is in rare and scattered instants that beauty smiles even on her adorers, who are reduced for habitual comfort to remembering her past favours.

As I get close to my election, I want to spend more time in my district and focus on my reelection.

Some of us seem to be born with a drive to try to make the world kinder.

Earnestness can ferment into sentimentality.

For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself; which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
