I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

It's about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That's what I was thinking about.

It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see

Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.

Be great. Get thy "Self". Know who you are. Beyond this body, and being. You are more than what you're seeing.

Without tact you can learn nothing.

When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens.

Women deserve the same permanent rights and explicit protections given men in the Constitution.

I try not to question the good things.

Love is not a mood, but a dynamic way of being.

For a country boy, poor as I was, whose constant worry was to be able to have enough to eat, the Army guaranteed one's survival.

Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?

The thing about life is, every time you learn a lesson, another is waiting right at the corner. You never know everything.

It is a basilisk unto mine eye, Kills me to look on't.
