Coming from a large family makes you feel protected - you have friends and allies.

I love humans; always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there.

Films are artifice. We're telling stories on film. At the same time, when it works, there is a real tough immediacy and spontaneity to it, and a punch.

All important things in art have always originated from the deepest feeling about the mystery of Being.

Women like this kind of rebel image in men because there's a thrill in it, especially for those who are tired and burdened with their lives.

I think my music has a big message, and I think when people really get into it, it does help their life sometimes. It inspires me; it's my favorite part about my job.
