Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

I will try to cram these paragraphs full of facts and give them a weight and shape no greater than that of a cloud of blue butterflies.

If it were better, it wouldn't be as good.

I just love good movies. And not every movie you're going to end up in is always going to turn out right, but at least walk into it with the right intention.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
