"There's always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If 'Pi' didn't work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don't think I would have gotten another shot at it. If 'Requiem for a Dream' didn't work out, they would have called me a 'one-hit wonder with a sophomore slump'."

Wrestlers
"I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn't want it to be a star-driven thing anymore."

Age
"Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second."
Life
"I hope that Requiem is better than Pi. I hope that Pi is better than my student films, and I'm hoping that I'm getting better as I get older."
Hope
"I'm Godless. I've had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking."
