It's exciting to try to do something in a totally different way - to bring out something totally different in me as a filmmaker. It's time to try something totally different.

Love makes everybody a victim because it's something you can't control. You can't control how you feel or what you're going through when you're doing it.

I don't like to direct the actors by telling them what to do. If anything, it's reminding them where they are in the movie, what's happening emotionally and what they want in the scene.

I'm kind of ADD. So I try to do one thing at a time. Otherwise, I would be sort of scattered and won't be 100% where I need to be for certain things.

I genuinely believe that everything happens for a reason.

Music is such an integral part of a film and really drives the emotional narrative, it has to be integrated from the beginning.

Sometimes the scene just comes together, and other times, we have to build the scene from scratch, just using different takes.

I don't understand myself in relationships and I don't understand relationships. So to continue to explore them and to try and work that out is honestly what I am really doing.

I think I'm going to venture into the futuristic, semi sci-fi love story land, but still in my style of improvisation.

A visitor is a friend, he brings news, good or bad, which is bread to the hungry minds in lonely places. A real friend who comes to the house is a heavenly messenger, who brings the panis angelorum.

The true reality is love

You can turn your anger into positive energy and do good things that will turn your life around

The hills and mountains on your ways are going to be removed. But remember that’s what should happen when God gives you the shovel. Use your gifts

My dad was a tyrant. He used to physically beat the crap out of us.

I would love to learn to play something so I don't have to rely on someone to collaborate with.

I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past, but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.

I write very quickly; I rewrite very slowly. It takes me nearly as long to rewrite a book as it does to get the first draft.

Men of humor are always in some degree men of genius; wits are rarely so, although a man of genius may, amongst other gifts, possess wit, as Shakespeare.
