For everyone, there are those moments when you have great days with someone you wouldn't expect to. Then you have to go back to your real lives, but it makes an impression on you.

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.

I think having the right music can really help you have fun while staying in shape. Make a great playlist that motivates you!

A great novel is a kind of conversion experience. We come away from it changed.

Your education or your life, Claire. I'd rather you be alive and a little bit dumber.

Without a wish, without a will, I stood upon that silent hill And stared into the sky until My eyes were blind with stars and still I stared into the sky.
