I like doing personal films, after doing a bigger movie, I enjoy doing smaller, intimate films.

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.

It's like we act as a mirror for the environment, or to a broader aspect, the universe.

There comes an hour when protest no longer suffices

I was born into the world as the king of truth for the salvation of the world.

At a certain point, particularly in his third term, Mayor Bloomberg lost touch with the people he was serving.

Use it, Rosie, that's what it's there for.

I'm right there with you, darlin'. Unless you step on a landmine, in which case I'm way back in the Operations Room.

Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.

The momentum today behind the idea of a new global reserve currency reflects, in effect, the rise of the rest in world politics and economics, led by China.

When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.

Movie 43 is about the hardest R Rated comedy ever.
