i-am-what-i-am
I feel like I am what I am.
football war team
Football is mesmerizing, because it's a figurative war. You go in one direction till you get there, but you get there as a team, not as an individual. Players bond whether they're black or white, much as soldiers do.
hell reason impossibility
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
jealousy envy underestimate
Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.
greek age
Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.
directors looks process
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
past thinking experience
I think experience will teach you a combination of liberalism and conservatism. We have to be progressive and at the same time we have to retain values. We have to hold onto the past as we explore the future.
real men experience
I would vote for the man who's lived life, who's done different occupations, who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience, honest experience.
adventure thinking
I think our life is a series of adventures.
divorce thinking lines
Anybody who's been through a divorce will tell you that at one point. they've thought murder. The line between thinking murder and doing murder isn't that major.
beauty beautiful fields
A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well, but she'll appear in film and it won't work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don't know.
movie joy should
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
mind
We all know what we know. We experience with our minds and breath.
simplicity
I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.
