电影不是一门手艺。它是一种艺术。它并不意味着团队合作。在片场，一个人总是孤独的，就像面对一张白纸一样。
The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean teamwork. One is always alone on the set as before the blank page.
教育并非中立。它始终是一个关于何为合法知识与文化的斗争场所。
一个群体的性格和命运，往往由其最低劣的成员决定。
At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
