Building a set is like building a place, but it's a temporary place, because sets usually get torn down. Kind of unfortunate.

When you practice Transcendental Meditation you are given a key to the deepest level of life.

The interesting thing that happens for many people when they first start meditating is that they'll be doing it for a few months, and they will begin to change, but the experience is so subtle that they're not even aware of it.

Mystery is the number one conjurer of ideas.

During the course of a day, some dark feeling comes, maybe some sadness comes, some thrill, some great happiness, some strange humor. Cinema can embrace all that in one story, just as the story of life.

When you have something that brings a real emotion, that's the power of cinema.

I like people who, you know, as you go along in life, you know, a thing happens, and people become a seeker. They look for something to give them the path to their full potential. I like them to know about transcendental mediation, but they've got to make up their own mind to take it and use it.
