mean different uncomfortable
It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else.
absurdity concepts
The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.
beautiful littles red
I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.
orderly
I like things to be orderly.
photography cinema different
Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That's the thing about painting, photography, cinema.
falling-in-love ideas cinema
Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.
thinking ideas philadelphia
I just have to think of Philadelphia now, and I get ideas, I hear the wind, and I'm off into the darkness somewhere.
ideas needs scripts
To make the script, you need ideas, and for me a lot of times, a final script is made up of many fragments of ideas that came at different times.
talking actors moments
Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they're on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on.
tree christmas-love painting
I love Christmas tree bulbs, and I started putting them in my paintings. You've got to plug this painting in, and it's got a rig in the back, so that each one can be replaced if it burns out.
creativity
Everybody's got creativity. You just get more of it [when you meditate].
talking age body
Inside, we are ageless and when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It’s the body that is changing around that ageless center.
sound sometimes film
Films are 50 percent visual and 50 percent sound. Sometimes sound even overplays the visual.
space world film
Because you make a world that didn't exist before, and you can go into that world deeper and deeper. It's unbounded out there. One film takes you into one area, another film takes you into another area. There could be trillions, zillions of worlds that exist in the big space.
