When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.

When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

It's about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That's what I was thinking about.

It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see

Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with telling the truth. I know it isn’t fashionable.

Work becomes at once a delight and a tyrant. For even when the time comes and you can relax, you hardly know how.

Gratitude is the most fruitful way of deepening your consciousness that you are a divine choice.

Basically there are no stars anymore. The audience is the star.

Live one day at a time. Keep your attention in present time. Have no expectations. Make no judgements. And give up the need to know why things happen as they do. Give it up!

I'm surprised when people who don't usually smoke weed are into edibles. I can't believe that.

People can snap. People have a limit. And some people are just plain nuts.

Many desire to kill me, and many wish to spend an hour chatting with me. The law protects me from the former.

The world would be a better place if people stopped voting for folksy candidates they could have a beer with and started voting for people smarter than they are.

I drink at least five bottles of water a day and always get eight hours of sleep.
