For some reason, I have a very strange conception of time. I am constantly hovering at some overview, more macro.

It seems to be this hot-bed for these ideas and bringing these groups together. You find that the one thing that everybody has in common, whether they're a teenager who has run away from his parents, or a divorcee who lost her husband, is that they all have in common this feeling of searching for a meaning in their lives.

I totally love my job, and I wake up every day basically thinking about how can I do my job better. It never feels like a job. It's hard, and it's exhausting sometimes, but it never feels like - I would do this even if they didn't pay me to do it. That's a pretty amazing feeling.

I always feel like the editing room is like coming into the kitchen. What kind of a meal do you make from there? It can be anything.

Human beings are flawed and complicated and messy.

A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.

Life and death and birth is this fantastic mystery that we cannot fully grasp.
