Freedom. It's like no constraints, an opening, and then barriers going away and lifting and breaking and experimentation and...it's like attempting for something.

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

Most of Hollywood is about making money - and I love money, but I don't make the films thinking about money.

I've said many, many, many unkind things about Philadelphia, and I meant every one.

I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it. That's why I love coffee shops and public places - I mean, they're all out there.

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

Life is very, very complicated, and so films should be allowed to be, too.
