Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing...

Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.

There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.

It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area

Most people don't do something seminal. I've done it twice: with my tent and my bed. Picasso did it with Cubism.

When it comes to words I have a uniqueness that I find almost impossible in art – and it's my words that actually make my art quite unique.

He had the feeling that there was something physically behind his eyes, blocking the light.

Thanks to Obamacare, millions of Americans can visit a doctor’s office and see what a print magazine actually looks like.

The greatest fool is he who thinks he is not one and all others are.

Soap operas are a world where rich people always have chandeliers and hip people have striped hair and the language that they use doesn't have any flexibility anymore.

Sometimes it's easier for me to do films about, and with, women, because I have more distance, I'm more lucid.

I find Jesse Jackson to be religiously, progressively old fashioned.

Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.

I don't know my armpit from my elbow in Los Angeles.
