“All my movies are about strange worlds that you can’t go into unless you build them and film them. That’s what’s so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds.”

Don’t make a film if it can’t be the film you want to make. It’s a joke, and a sick joke, and it’ll kill you.

It’s so freeing, it’s beautiful in a way, to have a great failure, there’s nowhere to go but up.

Intuition is knowingness, and this field of unbounded knowing, of knowingness, is within every human being. You start tapping into that and it becomes an ocean of solutions.

The only thing that disturbs me is that many psychopaths say they had a very happy childhood.

We’re all like detectives. We want to figure things out. Life, you know, we want to figure out life, and we want to figure out what’s going on, so it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful that people are thinking.

I love seeing people come out of darkness.

The more unknowable the mystery, the more beautiful it is.

This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.

A film is its own thing and in an ideal world I think a film should be discovered knowing nothing and nothing should be added to it and nothing should be subtracted from it.

It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.

You don’t need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.

Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me. But behind it you can rise out of that and see things the way the really are.

Meditation is not a selfish thing. Even though you’re diving in and experiencing the Self, you’re not closing yourself off from the world. You’re strengthening yourself, so that you can be more effective when you go back into the world.

There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.

Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.

Life is very, very complicated, and so films should be allowed to be, too.
