Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.

We need storytelling. Otherwise life just goes on and on, like the number Pi.

I see a movie as a way of learning about the world, about myself, and learning about my relationship with people and art.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.

My hometown was one of the major U.S. Air Force bases.

I think people are universal.

Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.

Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.

When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

Just because you…achieve what you always thought would make you feel special does not fix that deep-down internal insecurity. External achievement never equals internal acceptance.

Whatever we had is over. It died the minute I walked downstairs and realized the world I'd always known was a lie.- Blaire Wynn

The Internet is for lonely people. People should live.

Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business.

Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.

Suppose I could shoot myself in the mouth, but what if I miss? People will laugh at me.

I hadn't learned yet that everybody's locked up some way or other. That's how life is we're all imprisoned by something.

The correct prayer is never one of supplication but one of gratitude.

Thank God, I can look at a sunset now without having to think how to describe it

Words of love are works of love.
