I don't know any of us who are in relationships that are totally honest - it doesn't exist.

Anything that's expanding the mind and heart is happiness. But it's not a goal.

There are some problems on this planet that seem to be intractable.

A lot of making a movie is the comfort level of the people. It's just feeling open. We need to get along. We have to know something about each other.

I can see the character in a photograph, in the way a guy stands or holds his hands, the way he buckles his belt. I fantasize a lot looking at photographs. I'm sure that doesn't work for many people.

I would say that the West is very young, it's very corrupt. We're not very wise. And I think we're hopeful that there is a place that is ancient and wise and open and filled with light.

There is nothing real about film. Nothing. Even the light particles that project the film can't be proven to exist. Nothing is there.
