The greatest thing my father left me was a love for cutting wood - my love for sawing, especially pine wood.
world sound cinema
The cinema is really built for the big screen and big sound, so that a person can go into another world and have an experience.
oil smell house
I love paint. I like watercolours. I like acrylic paint... a little bit. I like house paint. I like oil-based paint, and I love oil paint. I love the smell of turpentine and I like that world of oil paint very, very, very much.
creativity blessing meditation
Transcendental meditation is an ancient mental technique that allows any human being to dive within, transcend and experience the source of everything. It's such a blessing for the human being because that eternal field is a field of unbounded intelligence, creativity, happiness, love, energy and peace.
strong thinking upset
If we didn't want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.

Every teacher of Transcendental Meditation is a hero.
dream inspiration fishing
I long for a kind of quiet where I can just drift and dream. I always say getting inspiration is like fishing. If you're quiet and sitting there and you have the right bait, you're going to catch a fish eventually. Ideas are sort of like that. You never know when they're going to hit you.
detectives ends trails
You're right on the money with that. We're all like detectives in life. There's something at the end of the trail that we're all looking for.
car meditation technique
Transcendental meditation is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It's a mental technique.
