One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.

I'm optimistic about people and about the planet and about nature. I think it's resilient, like people are.

I have friends who I get along with who I know get very uncomfortable being alone, unless they're with people, talking all the time. Whether it's on the phone, or in person, they're never by themselves. Whereas I could be alone for months.

I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.

I hate divers, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who might be the greatest athlete in the sport, but he's a big baby. If things are going well he's great, but when things are going badly it's the ref's fault, it's his teammates' fault.

You see people on the street yelling and think they're crazy, but maybe they're just happy and expressing what they feel at all times.

It's very rare you get a great script just handed to you, or sent to you, by someone you don't know.
