Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.

I don't have anything against commercials, and I really like BMWs.

Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.

I think every beautiful tale in the world hides the truth and reveals it little by little.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

It's more enjoyable for me to know that life is finite. Knowing that, I would like to go to a party.

For me, it's not about masochism to talk about death. For me, it's about observing life through death, from the last point of it.

I never deny a true experience in one shot.

I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.

Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.

Corey feldman and I did sneak into the screening room one day during Lost Boys.

If you contribute to other peoples happiness, you will find the true meaning of life. The key point is to have a genuine sense of universal responsibility

When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts necessary to make a decision. Don't keep putting off decisions.

If your awareness was strong enough, you could change the fate of a whole world without ever leaving your room.

In my lifetime, the world has become better, not worse. And the world is moving, very slowly but surely with more democracy and more liberal way of thinking, more inclusion and more diversity.

Also, I think that, you know, it's tribal behavior. I don't think that Pat Robertson, for instance, doubts that we evolved. He is simply representing a tribe.

We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.

I've always had a problem within myself of feeling that people didn't really see me as a musician and I'm out to get a bit of musical credibility.
