I don't speak up about something unless I feel strongly about it and until I've researched a subject extensively and have an informed decision about it.

There's no sense in doing something, especially if it's a hard job, if you can't have a little fun.

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.

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

Freud was the son of a Jewish merchant who had to move his whole family to Vienna because he couldn't get work. He, as a boy, had to watch his father be mocked and abused on the street for being Jewish... You develop a thick skin and you develop a certain kind of wit to defend yourself.

If you're not optimistic on some level, then you've given up.

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.
