You've got to admit failure sometimes.

People are not theirs thoughts, they think they are, and it brings them all kinds of sadness.

If you feel you have a film that's valid, you stick your ass on the line.

I don't see myself stopping, even though it gets harder and harder. Especially when you find out that you can't really compromise because of age.

Even though I play guitar, I don't do it publicly.

To allow the fear to come on you and then pass through. If you keep cutting the fear off by intervening - let's say, taking a Xanax to try to cure it - you'll never understand what fear is really for. Fear is part of a survival mechanism. The way you conquer fear is to feel it all the way, and then you'll find out that there's nothing there - it's just emotion.

It's failure, really, that you grow by, although nobody likes to experience it.
