“Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.”

“More yoga in the world is what we need.”

“What the human being sees, what is poured into his environment, becomes a force in him. In accordance with it, he forms himself.”

“I need to feel like the work I'm doing is not necessarily important, but meaningful, at least to me, because otherwise it just becomes a day job. It just becomes factory work and I get really frustrated.”

“In its lowest, most common form, inspiration is simple charisma that becomes magnified by the media, as with Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton.”
