“I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.”

“when you're a kid, they tell you that it's what's on the inside that counts. Looks don't matter . But that's not true. Guys like Phoebus in The Hunchback, or Dorian, or the old Kyle Kingsbury-- they can be scumbags to women and still get away with it because they're good-looking. Being ugly is a kind of prisoner.”

“It's easier to fake it. When you fake it for sixteen years, it becomes part of you, something you don't think about.”

“I would love to direct a western. I love taking photographs and I'm always fascinated with angles. Also, my father was a film editor, and I have a talent for thinking of things that aren't always in a script.”

“Poetry, especially traditional Iranian poetry, is very good at looking at things from a number of different angles simultaneously.”

“If you direct your attention to the position of a bird with regard to the wave surface, it will speedily be noticed to be nearly always on the rising side or face of the wave and moving apparently at right angles to the wave's course, but really diagonal to it.”
