Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.

I'm shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, 'What do you do for a living?' I don't know if I've earned that.

Every character is a part of you and a part of the character that you are going to evolve into that you are not yet.

I respect all religions. What I don't respect is when people use religion to attack others. I've met people across the world, in the middle of nowhere, who are just trying to survive and all they have is religion. In some why, it helps them, and I wouldn't take it away from them. There are also people who use to to hate and kill. I don't consider them religious people.

Films that I want to do are few and far between.

~Sometimes, when I want to take on the world, I try to remember that it's just as important to sit down and ask my son how he's feeling or talk to him about life.~

Nothing would mean anything if I didn't live a life of use to others.
