I find the joy of the 'doing' increases. Creativity increases. Intuition increases. The pleasure of life grows. And negativity recedes.

Films are 50 percent visual and 50 percent sound. Sometimes sound even overplays the visual.

The side effect of expanding consciousness is that negativity starts to evaporate; it goes away like darkness when you turn on a light.

Making a film is a beautiful mystery. You go deep into the wood, and you don't want to come out of that wood.

In my mind it's so much fun to have something that has clues and is mysterious - something that is understood intuitively rather than just being spoon-fed to you. That's the beauty of cinema, and it's hardly ever even tried. These days, most films are pretty easily understood, and so people's minds stop working.

Intuition is the key to everything, in painting, filmmaking, business - everything. I think you could have an intellectual ability, but if you can sharpen your intuition, which they say is emotion and intellect joining together, then a knowingness occurs.

I always loved smokestack industry, and I love towns or cities that have grown up around factories.
