The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool.

I'm interested in having fun with ideas, throwing them up in the air like confetti and then running under them.

Like every beginner, I have thought you could beat, pummel and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.

Get the big truth first. If you get the big truth, the small truths will accumulate around it.

And they were all, when their souls grew warm, poets.

There's a lot of crap out there. Most of the science fiction films alone are abominations, you know. They're mindless. So you can't learn from those kinds of films.

Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.
