You are not an active creator of the film.

Editing feels almost like sculpting or a form of continuing the writing process.

Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.

I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film, or art, but as movies, something to do on a Saturday afternoon.

But, I've made films in Japan, in Yugoslavia, all over Europe, all over the United States, Mexico, but not Hollywood.

I have one life. I am a certain age. I'm married to one person. I have a certain number of children. I won't have another life other than that, but I do have many lives through the films.

I mean, the truth of the matter is, I like the failures as much as I like the successes, it's only the world that doesn't like the failures.

Making films is much more difficult than people imagine, and so the experience of actually directing them is not one I've ever relished.

One wants to be able to experience being other people, remaking a reality, remaking a life, remaking a certain world.

We didn’t raise any of you to walk a path other than your own.The Far West (Frontier Magic Book 3).

I bought the sweetness with this pain.

I feel like guys don't think it's cool to use emojis. I'm like, that's so whack. Emojis help so much. They really do give context to something.

Worry is the last infirmity of the weak-minded.

I’ve learned that although our dreams may die, if you open yourself up to life, new ones are born.

I can't help but always be thinking about ideas.

Artificial intelligence will never be a match for natural stupidity.

This is my life. it is my one time to be me. i want to experience every good thing.
