How can I be a part of the 1960s generation when I don't even remember any of it?
(As) a director who is a writer, I have respect for writers, so I'm less likely to step on an idea or a line.
I'm trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.
Sometimes I get insecure about being a real director because I look at the great directors, and they have such command. But maybe that keeps me critical of myself. Maybe it keeps me moving forward.
I feel like fame is wasted on me.
When you hire great actors, you're lucky, so you just try to create an atmosphere where they can succeed and relax and take risks. You're happy that you get to watch them at the monitor and that your name is on the director's chair.
I really feel that's part of why audiences go to movies now is to take you to a world you have no access to, whether it's the world of Avengers or Middle-earth or bars in Boston you would be afraid to go into. You see characters there - they aren't hobbits but they're close.
To friends and eke to foes true kindness show; No kindly heart unkindly deeds will do; Harshness will alienate a bosom friend. And kindness reconcile a deadly foe.
People are still trying to figure out who I am. Most people just say I play the game the right way.
Take five minutes to centre yourself in the morning. . . set your intention every day. . . if you don't have five minutes, you don't deserve to have the life of your dreams.
The music of Mozart is of such purity and beauty that one feels he merely found it - that it has always existed as part of the inner beauty of the universe waiting to be revealed.
