We all die in the end, but there's no reason to die in the middle.

Always do things the least interesting way, the most blunt way, and you make a better movie. This is my experience.

You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame. Yeah, see, they die of shame. 'What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?' And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives. Thinking.

Invent nothing, deny nothing, speak up, stand up, stay out of school.

A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.

Storytelling is like sex. We all do it naturally. Some of us are better at it than others.

My idea of perfect happiness is a healthy family, peace between nations, and all the critics die.
