I also realise power is fleeting, it doesn't last forever in this career, so I want to make the most of it. I want to make the kinds of pictures that interest me, it's as simple as that. I've never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life.

As a kid, when I got to the edge of a cliff I wanted to jump off. I didn't want to kill myself. I wanted to fly.

Do I make mistakes? Yeah.

I just eat life... I engage in life.

When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion.

Even in my dreams, I’m an idiot who knows he’s about to wake up to reality.
