I always try to push the boundaries of what can be done in film.

【译文】要像瓶口那样不轻易开口，要像城防那样时时戒备。宁愿让别人辜负我，决不让自己辜负别人。做事要三思而后行，首先不要违背自己的良心。活着的老虎尚可以靠近，心地恶毒的人千万不能亲近。在你跟前说别人坏话的人，就是制造是非的小人。

I believe in the power of storytelling. It's the way we communicate, the way we understand each other.

I remember my friend Johnny von Neumann used to say, 'with four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.'

沉默是上帝的语言，而我们诗人则是它的诠释者。
