I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.

Like all art forms, film is a media as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; the only difference is that war destroys and film inspires.

I don't believe that art makes people violent in any way. I don't. But I do believe art can show people how to be violent and that's much more dangerous in a way.

I think that I am a pornographer, meaning that I make movies based on what excites me and what I would like to see.

The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.

Cinema is mass media, it is both overtly gross and exciting. It is our great mirror of society.

Creativity is narcissism. Creativity is falling in love with one's self as you create. It's self-indulgent.

In a way, art is a great way to release your love, fantasy, and desires. It's like a fetish. It's a comfortable way of excising a lot of your conscience.

Look at the birth of anything; it's always more violent than anything you could ever imagine.

We live in a beauty-obsessed culture, which on one hand is absolutely fabulous, but on the flip side, is also dangerously extreme.

Understanding one's own power is more interesting than someone being given something powerful.

Fear and realisation of ignorance, strong medicines against stupid pride.

Procrastination at the start and sometimes during the project meant there wasn’t time to execute the plans well enough.

This was how the world ended. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

One of Sir Topher's rules was to never indulge in sentimentality, never return for what was left behind.

I think we could be at a tipping point

There is a need for everyone's brain to be imprinted with more self-enhancing impulses: the impulse to peace over violence, love over fear, compassion over selfishness.

Real strength has to do with helping others.

We don't grow unless we take risks. Any successful company is riddled with failures.

I almost can't even put to words how happy I am that I got married.

If you are love with the perfect, prepare to see it swept away. If you are able to dream of the impossible, it just might happen.
