For me, my films have already aged. When they're finished, I don't want to watch them. Of course, I feel protective, but I try not to attach myself to these stories.

Film is like a drug. It is a shelter when you cannot deal with reality.

It's like we are underground, in a cemetery....the sky is the earth...We are hibernating, sleeping all the time and we don't know it. We are dreaming that there is plenty of oxygen.

Witness also that when we talk about literature, we do so in the present tense. When we speak of the dead, we are not so kind.

You really didn't appreciate how thick, how powerful water was until you had to fight it.

On the surface I look fragile and insecure; you have to know me very well.

Sound money is the sine qua non of a prosperous society.

The Mandrake is the "Tree of Knowledge" and the burning love ignited by its pleasure is the origin of the human race

Little deeds of kindness Little words of love; Help to make earth an Eden Like the heaven above.

This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors.

I feel like most of the objects coming through the ports are pretty useless. It sort of speaks to this larger point of how much we're actually taking in versus how much we really need.

If you're satisfied with everything you're just going to stay at one level and the world will move ahead.

I myself am more and more inclined to agree with Omar and Satchel Paige as I grow older: Don't try to rewrite what the moving finger has writ, and don't ever look over your shoulder.
