It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

I think the most important thing in filmmaking is to tell a story that you're passionate about.

Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.
