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

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.

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

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

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

For me, it's not about masochism to talk about death. For me, it's about observing life through death, from the last point of it.

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.

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

Every time that I'm challenged with a film I think that I haven't learned anything, that every film is different and that every thing that I have learned is useless in this new adventure.

When you mess up-fix it, when you fail-fall forward and learn, when you suffer loss-heal and always pay it forward

I love these words that just can't be translated from language to language. They seem dignified, grounded, battling against the imperialism of reality.

The umbrella won't stop the rain, but it will help you to get out during rainfall. As well as confidence is not going to guarantee your success, but it will give you the opportunity to achieve it.

We sat still, our breathing loud and rhythmic, its music melancholy, a traditional song of sorrow.

An Independent is someone who wants to take the politics out of politics.

Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.

I live in the constant newness of aspiration. Whatever I think, I ignore. Whatever I feel, I don't trust. Yet I listen to my thoughts and follow my feelings.

People who say "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" never felt a broken heart.

Every one has a gift for something, even if it is the gift of being a good friend.

Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
