You must make bold experiments in life!

When nothing upsets you, you are at the beginning of the path. When you desire nothing, you are halfway on the path; when nothing becomes everything, you are perfected.

No amount of prayer or meditation can do what helping others can do.

I think, basically, I'm an abstract artist. I just think that that's not even an issue. I think everything's abstract.

Impossible is relative.

But, it is hard too, because I want to do another action film. Believe it or not, it was fun.

I don't believe in the sort of "Eureka!" moment idea. I think it's a myth. I'm very suspicious that actually Archimedes had been thinking about that problem for a long time.
