Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

A wife lasts only for the length of the marriage, but an ex-wife is there for the rest of your life.

Life's hard, then you die.

As I got more confident, I was able to let actors improvise, and do long takes. It's 10%, 5% you learn and experience. The rest you just have or you don't have.

You can't work at a relationship; you can't control it. You have to be lucky and go through your life. If you are not lucky you have to be prepared for some degree of suffering. That's why most relationships are very difficult and have some degree of pain. People stay together because of inertia, they don't have the energy. Because they are frightened of being lonely, or they have children.

In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.

It's funny. Maria Elena and I, we are meant for each other and not meant for each other, it's a contradiction.
