Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.

I don't have anything against commercials, and I really like BMWs.

Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.

Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.

I think every beautiful tale in the world hides the truth and reveals it little by little.

It's more enjoyable for me to know that life is finite. Knowing that, I would like to go to a party.

I never deny a true experience in one shot.

I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.

I was brought up by an Episcopalian father and Presbyterian mother in nondenominational Army chapels all over the world and never really had much religious experience.

The most important thing in an argument, next to being right, is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent, so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without too much apparent loss of face.
