I grew up in the era, 'Don't trust anybody over 30.' And, you know, I still feel that. Don't trust me.

In my films, all the great things are put together. It's not like one kind of ice cream but rather a very big Sundae.

I am simply trying to struggle through life trying to do God's bidding.

I've had much more down in my life than I've had up. And much more struggle. First of all, when I went into the film school everybody said, "What are you doing? This is a complete dead-end for a career."

Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose

It's okay to lose; just don't lose the lesson.

All art is dependent on technology because it's a human endeavour , so even when you're using charcoal on a wall or designed the proscenium arch, that's technology .
