athlete missing silence
I've come to the conclusion that athletes, when they say they miss the crowd, are not missing the sound of the crowd. What they're missing is the feeling inside that makes the crowd roar. It's not the roar of the crowd, it's the silence inside.
believe people want
I don't want people to know me. I want them to believe my version.
tree curiosity world
A tree you pass by every day is just a tree. If you are to closely examine what a tree has and the life a tree has, even the smallest thing can withstand a curiosity, and you can examine whole worlds.
looks ass
Don't be afraid of making an ass of yourself. I do it all the time and look what I got.
creative be-creative
I've discovered that the more freedom I have to be creative, the more creative I become.
thinking film joyful
I think making a good film shot is joyful.
directors choreographers
A director is a choreographer, both politically and creatively.
dog horse kids
My wife and my three kids and my grandchildren are my life, but my horses and my dogs are everything else.
drama texture film
There's an ecstasy about doing something really good on film: the composition of a shot, the drama within the shot, the texture... It's palpable.
stars talking miracle
I existed before Star Trek. I started in live television. I was there when the cameras were as big as a table, had internal fans that were whirring and tubes that, because of the heat, had to come right up to our face for a close-up. Now, we are talking about green screen and putting us in locations that we'll never visit. What has happened to us is a miracle, and the miracle is our inventiveness. The tragedy of our lives is also our inventiveness.
limited-resources youth resources
Youth is the ultimate limited resource.
thinking parts-of-life perceive
I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.
smell garlic
Stop and smell the garlic! That's all you have to do.
past thinking fire
We're all embers from the same fire. Our ember winks out, we're ashes, we go back to the fire. I like that image. There has to be a unifying theory. I think there is a continuity of some kind, that my love for my wife will go on past the death of my body. Nature is perfect.
