I do know that some Buddhists are able to attain peace of mind.

I'm going to be 60, and I'm almost used to myself.

All I can do is try to do the best work I can. I need to work, I like to work... although I complain about it, but I do like it - and I just need to make the best film I can.

If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant?

Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle.

The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.

I don't know how else to tell the story except to utilise that vocabulary: the rain, the darkness, the mansions, the framing, etc, the lighting and that sort of thing.
