Every time I hear sounds, I see pictures. Then, I start getting ideas. It just drives me crazy

My movies are film-paintings - moving portraits captured on celluloid. I'll layer that with sound to create a unique mood -- like if the Mona Lisa opened her mouth, and there would be a wind, and she'd turn back and smile. It would be strange and beautiful.

I always say that intuition is the number one tool for an artist.

I love child things because there's so much mystery when you're a child. When you're a child, something as simple as a tree doesn't make sense. You see it in the distance and it looks small, but as you go closer, it seems to grow - you haven't got a handle on the rules when you're a child. We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experienced is a narrowing of the imagination.

There is an ocean of creativity within every human being.

If a scene isn't honest, it stands out like a sore thumb.

The more unknowable the mystery, the more beautiful it is.
