We're living in a world that says that if you engage in mass fraud, you'll be rewarded, but if you go down the street and steal an orange juice, you get arrested.

The job of the writer and the filmmaker is not to impose his vision on the reality, but to be inspired by the reality and create a vision out of that.

I never say "Action" or "Cut." Never. I think that would disturb the life from happening in and around everything.

Since Hollywood seems to be more interested in people wearing tights and using powers, there seems to be a fertile ground for movies about real human beings.

It's hard for me to say you have to accept that the world is meaningless and the landscape is there before and after. That's not something we learn much in our culture growing up.

Sometimes we have dreams, but we just can't make them. That's normal.

I think happy and hope is more hopeful when you acknowledge that there's awful things too.

I'm not going to read reviews like, "I have to do these things." Any good criticism makes you think about your own films and about cinema in general.

You have to let life come and go.

I like to give the actors the freedom, and they know they have the freedom, to change anything they want at any time.

Old Glory in her majesty has so many promises in her wave that we have no choice but to keeping pledging and waving right back!

I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax?

Q: Does this train stop at Brighton? A: I hope so or there's going to be a hell of a splash.

In Italy there are two emergencies. This is what I hear, and this is what all the stats say. Employment and security.

I do think you have to scare yourself. That's where your creativity or your growth comes from. Scaring yourself, challenging yourself, taking those risks, and not caring about what anyone thinks.

We have changed. We are no longer, as I said, bipedal monkeys. We are instead a kind of cybernetic coral reef of organic components and inorganic technological components.

I think you should live your moral values, but the last thing, the very last thing, the government should do is have laws that would punish women who make reproductive choices.

A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state Empties itself, as dot an inland brook Into the main of waters.
