People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.

Some people are a little bit better than others, some people are great, some people are superior. It depends on the level of effort.

There is nothing more intoxicating than victory, and nothing more dangerous.

If you have millions and millions of dollars, you're living in a totally different world. You don't feel it anymore and you've got to feel it.

I want my movies to play in movie theaters. While festivals can fulfill a part of that, there's nothing like getting a week-long run for your movie. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get that.

For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.

I really do think you shoot for that beautiful experience of showing your movie in a crowd or room full of people, or even just one person who happens to go to a matinee screening.
