As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail.

When I started making films, I wanted to make Frank Capra pictures. But I`ve never been able to make anything but these crazy, tough pictures. You are what you are.

As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail...Say what you are. Not what you would like to be. Not what you have to be. Just say what you are. And what you are is good enough.

You can defeat fear through humor, through pain, through honesty, bravery, intuition, and through love in the truest sense.

People who are making films today are too concerned with mechanics - technical things instead of feeling.

We only have two hours to change people's lives.
