When I read a story that I think has value and I want to be in it, that doesn't change for me. It doesn't fall out of favor for me. I might have to move on because the universe is saying you can't make this right now. But I'm going to circle back and make it.

We all have to have our north star that we fix on and go to, but life is so much about the things that bump into you.

We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.

I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

I like when my face tingles, when the hair on the back of my neck stands up.

You're just as good, and if you work harder, you can be better and you can be more than you think you can.
