funny humor science
I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.
confusing life-is uncertain
Life is unresolved, confusing, bewildering, puzzling, ambiguous. You don't really know what's going to happen. The future is uncertain for everybody.
depressing philosophical thinking
The process of making films is so technically demanding that it's a distraction. You don't spend your time thinking about the philosophical content, which is often very depressing.
death
Marriage is the death of hope.
pain short-life life-is-short
Why not? Life is short, life is dull, life is full of pain - and this is a chance for something special.
crazy believe reality
I do believe that reality is dreadful and that you are forced to choose it in the end or go crazy, but that it kills you.
next-day way scripts
It's easier to direct. If you direct something poorly and re-shoot it the next day, stage it better, make it work better, you have a lot of possibilities. You can edit it in certain ways so that it works, but there's no getting around weaknesses of the script.
fun sleep people
Have you ever noticed that good people sleep better, but bad people seem to have more fun when they're awake?
happiness happy appreciate
The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.
dream witty humorous
What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream?
fun giving film
If you don't have fun doing the film, then the results of the film will never give you any fun.
funny witty sex
I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own.
reality emotional thinking
I never think I feel cynical in general. Cynical is reality with an alternate spelling. I feel there's a gigantic amount of injustice and overt crime every day in the world, from emotional crimes to international crimes, and it often carries rewards.
tradition illusion
Tradition is the illusion of permanance.
