I believe in the power of cinema to change the world.

Every material has its own language. We need to listen to what it wants to be.

The greatest teachers are those who tell you where to look but don’t tell you what to see.

Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.

To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before.

Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.

The truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.
