I'm just gonna make movies the best I can, do the festival thing or whatever can come. I plan on working with a lot of the same guys over and over again. I hope the majority of us can stick together.

When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.

But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.

It's a relationship I went through that collapsed my entire view of the world in a very extreme way.

I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.

I hope I don't have to act in one of my own projects again.

Nothing is sacred. Not even your own mother, not the Jewish martyrs, not even people starving of hunger. Laugh at everything, ferociously, bitterly, to exorcise the old monsters.

The more you say, the less people remember.

When a slave begins to take pride in his fetters and hugs them like precious ornaments, the triumph of the slave-owner is complete.

God does not exist to make a big deal out of us. We exist to make a big deal out of him. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's all about him.

For those who have an intense urge for Spirit and wisdom, it sits near them, waiting.

Saying hello to something new means saying good-bye to something old and loved.

I must have in stock 3000 songs you've never heard.
