Some of the best stuff in all my movies has been improv.

You can't really just think, "Oh, I want to make something that is going to appeal to every single person in the world." You have to just try to make a movie that comes from your heart.

People love to talk, so let them have fun talking.

As a director, you've got to have quite a few projects going because you never know which one will actually come together with the financing and get the green light.

If a scene doesn't work on three levels - it's not advancing the story, the characters, and telling me something new - then put it in the trash.

I thought, "If I can make you feel what it's like for that first super-passionate love, other people might like that too," and, of course, they did.

Since I was a little kid, I did like fairy tale. I did dress up like Little Red Riding Hood. My mom had to make me a cape.

I thought it would be quite a challenge to direct a mystery thriller. I hadn't really done something like that.

When I was just five years old, I loved the scary layer and the symbolical power of the red cloak. I made my mom make me that red cloak, and I had to wear it on Halloween, two years in a row.

When you're in the editing process, you try different things and you get creative ideas.

When I talk to film students, I always say, "Buy the DVDs and listen to the commentaries, look at the making of, look at the behind-the-scenes," because that's such a great learning tool.

I waited for so long To let you know What I feel For you You’re my endless dream ……..I know it feels So good To be by your side Till the end of time You’re my endless love………….

Life is a dance more than it is an assertion and there is more health in dynamism or fluidity than there is rigidity and stasis.

When you lurch from one thing to the next, constantly scheming, or reacting to incoming fire, the mind gets exhausted. You get sloppy and make bad decisions.

I could take back those moments that snatched you away from me or maybe just wipe away those ten minutes when you came to me for the first time and I looked into your eyes to realise what love is.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.

You really can't write well if you're thinking about what the reviewers might say.

Let us begin to understand the argument. There is a solution to everything: Science.

What we really need to be understanding is that all of these things matter and they all stem from the fact that certain people live with power and authority and they want to maintain it

Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.

Conversation is but carving! Give no more to every guest Than he's able to digest.
