When the going gets tough, everyone leaves.

The big treasury is an ocean of infinite creativity. It's a creativity that creates everything that is a thing - it's mighty powerful creativity.

An artist makes a painting, and nobody bugs him or her about it. It's just you and your painting. To me, that's the way it should be with film as well.

This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.

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?

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

As a kid, I was always building things. My father had a shop in the house, and we built things - we were kind of a project family. I started out as a painter, and then painting led to cinema, and in cinema, you get to build so many things, or help build them.
