It is difficult to offend a New Yorker.
I think it's great to change - change country, change anything.
The great thing about Europe is that things have not been represented [as much]. If you open the door of a bar in Brooklyn in a film you know exactly who is the mobster, who is the nice guy, who is the drunk, who's the waitress, who's the lonely heart. If you push open the door to a bar in Antwerp or Lisbon or Rotterdam, people will talk five different languages. You don't know who's who. You don't know if that guy is a banker or a mobster.
I wanted to direct when I was very young. I had no idea of cinema, of who's doing what. That was my first instinct: "Okay, I want to be the boss. "
When someone offers me a job or a project, I always ask myself, "What does it tell me about the world?" and "Have I seen it before?" Two good questions.
Things [only] exist once they are represented.
It's great to represent things that are not represented.
I do want to say that I was just endorsed - and more are coming next week - it will be over 200 admirals, many of them here - admirals and generals endorsed me to lead this country. That just happened, and many more are coming. And I'm very proud of it.
Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.
A major puzzle for which nobody has an answer is this: is there some size at which the planets change their nature from water-rich planets like Neptune, to rocky planets like the Earth? We have found two planets that are the size of the Earth in radius, but they are very close to their host star, so water on the surface would evaporate away. How do you make planets like the Earth in a universe that has far more water than iron and nickel? It's possible that Earth, with its mostly rocky composition, is rare in the universe.
Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence.
