Remember that you are this universe and that this universe is you.
In real life, I myself am kind of a rambling guy. I like to travel.
I still have energy and some degree of youth, which is what a filmmaker needs.
I never wanted money worries to slow me down or make me take a job I didn't want.
Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that's everywhere around the world.
Just because I make films doesn't mean I think they're great. I just make them and then when I'm done with them I'm just a filmgoer like I always am. They're all lessons. I'm still in film school, honestly. And this one is just a dry run for whatever the next one is.
Even if we die at 100, we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.
One of the most thoughtless statements, parroted ad nauseam ever since rational concern for our environment exploded into an emotional syndrome, calls Man the only animal that soils its own nest. Every animal soils its nest with the products of its metabolism if unable to move away. Space technology gives us for the first time the freedom to leave our nest, at least for certain functions, in order not to soil it.
The best way to get kids reading more is to give them books that they'll gobble up - and that will make them ask for another.
I have respect for the past, but I'm a person of the moment.
When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back.
