Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.

Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.

I doubt that there are many screenplays of movies that either of us have seen over the past 10 years that were first drafts, or were the work of purely one person. In my world, the actors and the director are all made of paper, and they do exactly what I say. I feel much more in control of the finished work. I feel like the statement that I'm making - even though it's in a medium by no means as glamorous or as widely recognized as film - is at least the statement that I wanted to make. That's a lot more important to me than the allure of working for Hollywood.

Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist.

All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.

I am brother to dragons, and companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

Happiness is the most insidious prison of all.
