The architect must be a craftsman.

I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

I try to make movies that are like little worlds that you can step into.
