I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live.

It's not that we use technology, we live technology.

Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.

Mystery is gone to the certainty of technological principles. So the real terror, the real aggression against life comes in the form of the pursuit of our technological happiness.

What I'm trying to do is to at least raise a flag to the blinding light of technology.

In effect, I feel like a blind, deaf, and illiterate person working through the sensibilities and multiple, real talents of other people. Everything I do is collaborative.

So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.

I think there's an enormous value to being negative. The world we live in today, negativity is not permitted.

Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context, raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students.

But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor, only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.

If a country successfully translate the principles of truth and honesty into their social life, then that country experiences peace, tranquillity and serenity.

Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.

When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.

I can look at my early work and see what a pained struggle it was to draw what I was drawing. I was trying so hard to get this specific look that was in my head, and always falling short.

The public pays and feels it is entitled to participate in the personal affairs of a performer.

We are all born equally far from the sun.

I'm a star: SHERIFF BADGE.

I DO not count the hours I spend In wandering by the sea; The forest is my loyal friend, Like God it useth me.

I like fantasy. I've always been the kind of kid who likes to dream about other things I could be and exotic situations I could be in.

Comedy makes you humble. Because there are so many opportunities to miss, and strike out.
