Waiting for wisdom to open the cage, we forged in the fires of the innocent age.

I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing

You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!

Love is the promise that guides me.

Down the ancient corridors through the gates of time, run the ghosts of dreams that we have left behind.

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight. Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright. Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light

Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand.

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to

There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find, though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind

A simple smile, a tender touch, speaks the true language of love.

Between the worlds of men and make believe I can be found.

The modern city consists of...dark, narrow streets full of gasoline fumes, coal dust, and toxic gasses, torn by the noise.

Religion is the opium of the poor.

It's kind of the Washington, D.C., chattering class. They kind of talk amongst themselves.

No man suffers injustice without learning, vaguely but surely, what justice is.

I cannot harness a horse. I am afraid of a cow.

How wise must one be to be always kind.

West is too materialist; East is too spiritual; North is too cold; South is too loose!

My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.
