I don't keep a journal. I keep a life.

一个好故事不能被设计出来；它必须被提炼出来。

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

出自先秦《荀子·礼论》。生是人的开始，死是人的终结。开始与终结都做得好，那么他的为人之道就完善了。说明意在劝人行仁行善，要善始善终。

"I think the best movies are made for one of two reasons: either to make a lot of money or because the filmmaker has something to say."

"The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live."
