There are only 24 hours in a day, and my top priority is working on my films, but I love short film experiments.

I have to make what I see, whether it's a painting, a table, or a movie, or it's like a death and what would be the point of that?

I think true love is not only true personal love but totality of love, universal love - to be in love with everything manifest and everything unmanifest.

We want to generate the electricity of peace through music, and it’s a thrill to know that the super-creative, enthusiastic musicians of our world are with us to achieve this goal.

To me, a story can be both concrete and abstract, or a concrete story can hold abstractions. And abstractions are things that really can't be said so well with words.

Lately I feel films are more and more like music. Music deals with abstractions and, like film, it involves time. It has many different movements, it has much contrast. And through music you learn that, in order to get a particular beautiful feeling, you have to have started far back, arranging certain things in a certain way. You can't just cut to it.

We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.
