My personal obsessions are much more interesting to me than other people's.

I've always been fascinated by maps and cartography. A map tells you where you've been, where you are, and where you're going -- in a sense it's three tenses in one.

I have always had severe problems with Austrians. ... Musical, churchy, uptight... nice legs... hypocritical... authoritarian... always insist their dustbins are very clean.

I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself.

I really, sincerely believe that one should trust the work, and not the author.

You can play lacrosse all over the world provided you know where the goalposts are.

I wanted to make a cinema of ideas, not plots, and to use the same aesthetics as painting, which has always paid great attention to formal devices of structure, composition and framing.

Works of art are never finished, just stopped.

Every historian has a vested interest. "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" was not about the Roman but the British empire. What price the truth?

I always think that art is one of the most wonderful exciting curious ways to learn. I have no worries or apologies about art being used as a teaching medium.

Only cinema narrows its concern down to its content, that is to its story. It should, instead, concern itself with its form, its structure.

Faith is the force of action.

The favour of God, forfeits the failure of men.

Stand tall and be proud. Realize confidence is charismatic and something that is something money can't buy, it radiates from within you.

September 8Today I pray for the knowledge of God’s will for me and then follow my inner guidance. I choose to make my thoughts and actions align with peace and love.

Meat consumption is just as dangerous to public health as tobacco use... It's time we looked into holding the meat producers and fast-food outlets legally accountable.

My performance has improved dramatically from yoga and meditation. No athlete ever dominated by sticking to one sport all the time.

I don't want to get into an insult fight with Donald Trump.

Real movie producers arent this nice.

The Middle East is rejecting any other religions, so it's a one sided multiculturalism.

Art is the more spiritual side of education that really does saves lives and makes amazing individuals.
