I like to have a project. I live to have something to waste my energy on, something to think about. To figure out like a puzzle.

The beautiful moment sits very close to the horrific one.

The lies are in the dialogue, the truth is in the visuals.

Happiness is a strange word. So conclusive. Happiness is a thing that happens for a moment.

I'm 51. So I'm just saying, 30 years from now you're going to have a different outlook. That's what a midlife crisis is.

I don't dislike everything I do. Especially with a film, you don't have an easy relationship with it when it's done because it's been your life.

Waking up and having a project to work on is one of life's great pleasures.

I'm drawn to people that have tasks to do.

I don't have to be making something to feel like life has value.

I'm looking at the window and can't understand why there are six hundred thousand SUVs here in this little town. No one can even move. Why doesn't everyone just get out and walk?

I'm not miserable, but I can't not be angry.

Fear hurries on my tongue through want of courage.

I believe any time you have the courage to stand for what is right, especially in situations where no one else is willing to do so, you are creating a holy place.

You draw the mystical kundalini from the earth. Earth is an element. Fire, air, earth, water, and ether - the mystical kundalini comes through them all.

People have become inappropriate. People have pushed too far. People have climbed one too many fences. I'm just tired of it.

I like to say that women are those who form life in their wombs - and this is a comparison I make - they have this charism of giving you things you can build with.

Blest that abode, where want and pain repair, And every stranger finds a ready chair.

If two or three persons should come with a high spiritual aim and with great powers, the world would fall into their hands like a ripe peach.

In joy and sorrow all are equal, Thus be guardian of all, as of yourself.

Even if the world ends, the Music will still survive...
