Tied to consciousness are all positive qualities, so that ocean within is an ocean of unbounded intelligence, unbounded creativity, unbounded happiness, unbounded love, unbounded energy, and unbounded peace. And when students start expanding consciousness in those positive qualities, their relationships improve, their grades go up, their happiness goes up, the fighting and bullying stops, and things get very, very, very good.

Eraserhead is my most spiritual movie. No one understands when I say that, but it is.

I always say Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is my biggest influence. But for painters, I like many, many painters, but I love Francis Bacon the most, and Edward Hopper.

Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me. But behind it you can rise out of that and see things the way the really are.

I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.

I love the quality, feel and history of film. I love the pictures of the giant cameras and the way it was.

Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see, one chance out between two worlds, fire walk with me!
