I try to put in every one of my movies some sort of message. I don't want to overdo it, because I don't want people to get annoyed by it, but it's good to have a message.

Do not fear. Some things will never change.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do.

The eye, like a shattered mirror, multiplies the images of sorrow

Improve with each breath. Every negative vibration returns 10 fold.

Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .

Isnt it lovely to know that even the great Sherlock Holmes, the quirky and genius Sherlock Holmes, is vulnerable to love as we all are?
