Of course you have to create the conditions of a certain belief. And maybe ignoring something that you don't want to see, at least for the time of the shooting.

In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn't mingle them. Now it's more ambiguous.

A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.

Right person, wrong timing doesn’t mean God was wrong. It means you were there at the right time to fulfill something else. Look for it.

In any closet, you can find it, if it is too small, or out of style, or there is just one of it where there should be two

The church must constantly promote dialogue.

The ice caps are melting, which we see over and over again. Yeah, they're melting on Mars, too!

As long as I can stay creative and used my mind, it can be 20 hours a day. I sleep four hours, so I've got 20 hours.

The world is continually changing. I think in some ways it's changing in a very positive way.

I was very disappointed (at the U.S. Open), and I went out there and I worked really hard.

Yes, the first morning of creation wrote what the last dawn of reckoning shall read.

The establishment's gonna come together to protect themselves regardless of ideology.

Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
