“If you want to get things you can’t buy in a store, you have to do things never thought of before.”

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

Everything stinks till it’s finished.

Unless someone like you comes around, things will never change.

Only you can control your future.

Kid, you’ll move mountains.

Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.

You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

Poor empty pants with nobody inside them.

I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well that’s because he’s a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that’s usually to impress some girl.

You are you. Now, isn’t that pleasant?

Fiction is my addiction

It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.

Even though we may all become extinct, we can still leave our footprint in the sand.

So therefore I dedicate myself, to my art, my sleep, my dreams, my labors, my suffrances, my loneliness, my unique madness, my endless absorption and hunger because I cannot dedicate myself to any fellow being.

The more medicated, the more dedicated.

There is great incongruity in this idea of monuments, since those to whom they are usually dedicated need no such recognition to embalm their memory; and any man who does, is not worthy of one.

There’s almost nothing you can’t accomplish if you set your mind to it.

I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I know.

Sometimes a director is making three films. Perhaps he is shooting a film in Madras and a film in Bombay and he can’t leave Madras as some shooting has to be done, so he directs by telephone. The shooting takes place. On schedule.

Training makes me happy.
