Maybe more climate activists will think about the climate change not as an international problem to be resolved in an air-conditioned meeting hall, but as a guerilla war to be fought in the streets.

In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal.

Poetry is a type-font design for an alphabet of fun, hate, love, death.

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others.

I wanted to make abstract films that are emotional, and I still do.

Be a good craftsman; it won't stop you from being a genius.

Injury taught me I need to learn how to face challenges.
