wall people chinese
There are three things Jewish people worship-God, Chinese food and wall-to-wall carpeting.
wall trying actors
I don't like to reminisce much, and my walls don't have photographs of me and the actors I was with, or any of that stuff. I try and keep that disciplined, and just work. There are so many traps you can get into, and looking back on your own work is certainly one of them.
wall doors practice
We knew the front door was always left open, but we broke in just to keep in practice. Doxy turned all the Washburn family photos to the wall so there wouldn't be any witnesses.
almost came enjoying enjoyment experience films happens invariably rare rarely saw surprised
I like the film, and that's rare for me to say because I make films and I am almost invariably disappointed. When I saw ('Match Point'), I said, 'My God, it came out.' It surprised me. . . . So I am enjoying the experience because it happens so rarely for me.
both fool occurred occurs treated
It's something that occurs to me many times in my movies. They can often be treated comically or dramatically, and I usually opt to treat them comically. But it occurred to me that you could get a story and you could fool around with it both ways.

I'm going to give my psychoanalyst one more year, then I'm going to Lourdes

I let the cast improvise a lot, especially with the slang, where they would say 'g and t' for gin and tonic. I wouldn't say that. I would say 'dicey' when they would say 'dodgy.' I learnt a lot.
job
If my film makes one more person miserable, I've done my job
gained mistakes
I've gained no insight, no mellowing. I would make the same mistakes again.
american-director
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
damn experience far good love sex
Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
everytime hear invading wagner
Everytime I hear Wagner I feel like invading Poland.
bark creation figure god hard poet
As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree" - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on

Is knowledge knowable? If not, how do we know this?
