It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

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.

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.

For everyone, there are those moments when you have great days with someone you wouldn't expect to. Then you have to go back to your real lives, but it makes an impression on you.

Be confident enough to show your true self to the world.

Andrew Carnegie was an inventor only in the sense that he adopted and adapted the discoveries of others.

Re-colonizing it and sort of reverse-colonizing it to the point that today the national dish of Great Britain is Chicken Tikka Masala.

If you don’t define yourself for yourself then you will be crushed into other's fantasies of you and eaten alive

The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.

It's important for the writers of the presidential daily brief to feel comfortable that the documents will never be politicized and/or unnecessarily exposed for public purview.

It is time for a new generation of leadership.

The young do not need God, and the old cannot find Him.

Every time I work on something, fun comes first. Whatever it is I think if you have fun doing it, the other things will follow. Albums sales or ranking on charts aren't important.

I've come to realize that the thing in life that's important, the reason we're all here, is to love and do well for each other.
