“There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”

So much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you’re figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it’s not worth doing – it’s already done. I’m interested in finding people who I think have a voice – and a very specific voice.

I don’t want to die without scars.

Most of the time is with the family. Most of the time, is all the time. When we work it’s a very intensive chunk of time. We work for 12 hours a day, 14 hours a day is common. And we’ll do that for a few months and then we get to relax a little bit.

There’s no right. There’s no wrong. There’s only popular opinion.

The best moments can’t be preconceived. I’ve spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

I believe in the power of journalism. To make informed decisions, you have to have an understanding of the dynamics of a situation. And journalism does bridge gaps and creates dialogue.

Getting a burp out of your little thing when she needs it is probably the greatest satisfaction I’ve come across at this point in my life.

My family worry for me because I’m gonna burn in an eternal pit of fire.

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it’s up to me.

I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful actually.

I believe you make your day. You make your life.

I always heard criticism is the tax on fame. They were right. And then some.

You are not the car you drive.

When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance.

I haven’t known life to be any happier.

For a happy life, love the world and hate the word hate.

Jesus used the carefree attitude of the birds to underscore the fact that worrying is unnatural. I am learning in my own life, day by day, to keep my mind centered on Christ.

This world is meaningful. Each one has to share the bliss and sorrows. Elevate your life with the heat of the fire and the light of the sun. March ahead..God is with you.

I did not succeed in life by intelligence. I succeeded because I have a long attention span.

With nature’s help, humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life sustaining.

May my life be a continual prayer, a long act of love.

When you fall in love with a person, you don’t fall in love with their body. You fall in love with their names, their favorite places, their moments of life and much more again.

A spiritually established life is not an easy task. But a materially satisfied life is an impossible task.
