I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.

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.

You do not own the molecules. They are stardust. They belong to God. What you do own is your soul. Nobody can take that away from you.

You don't always get to know what happened, or why things happened a certain way, but it always, always, goes deeper than any one thing.

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

I owe the public just one thing - a good performance.

Today's marginalization of Christianity is a direct result of our failure to understand our faith as a total worldview.

There is much less envy of the rich by the poor than there is of the happy by the unhappy; by those who believe, by those who don't believe.

Criticism is the seed of divorce, and it develops rebellion in our young.

To some degree it matters who's in office, but it matters more how much pressure they're under from the public.

I am me and I am okay.

I'm not leaving until you say yes.
