I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.

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.

If there is no personal God, everything is permissablel, and if God exists, everthing is possible.

He had no ideal world of dead heroes

There are bad dreams for those who sleep unwisely.

The West has always been the epicentre of possibility. One of the ways we forge against mortality is to head west. It's to do with catching the sun before it slips behind the horizon.

Not being able to work would make me very unhappy.

I've always gotten along best with artists.

Before you have children, you mostly think about the world in terms of yourself. And when you become a parent, the focus shifts to somebody else.

If I am happy inside, then I live in paradise no matter where my residence is.

Man was not made for himself alone

You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn't expect. You have to follow.
