“We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But ...” — Thomas Merton Quote

“We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen.”

“When ambition ends, happiness begins.”

“Who is willing to be satisfied with a job that expresses all his limitations? He will accept such work only as a 'means of livelihood' while he waits to discover his 'true vocation'. The world is full of unsuccessful businessmen who still secretly believe they were meant to be artists or writers or actors in the movies.”

“Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film.”

“I don't like the darkness and sleep with the light on.”

“I grew up loving horror, so there's something satisfying about playing the final girl; but I hope to not always live in complete darkness.”
