I try to make films that are as close to life as possible, because life is not always clear and straightforward.

My goal is to create music that stands the test of time.

我们都希望一切保持不变。不如安于生活。

唯一能拯救你的，是你自己的想象力。

北极仅有一盏路灯，南极也只有一盏；唯独北极的点灯人和他南极的同行，过着闲逸懒散的生活：他们每年只工作两次。

The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.

每个生命都包含自己的奥秘，传记作者必须尊重那些不可知的部分。
