"If tragedy never entered our lives, we wouldn't appreciate the magic."
"Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats."
"When faced with contrast, take nothing personally and don't try to defend yourself. Defending one's self is a vibrational relative of guilt. People will think what they like; do not feed fuel to the fire by reacting. Simply ask questions for clarity and in response say 'Is that so?' Take responsibility for the energy you brought to the situation, acknowledge the illusions without attachment, and move forward. Other people's opinions are none of your business. Remember that each person is on their own unique path, and the mirror of contrast you hold up to them may be exactly what is necessary for their conscious growth at that time."

"You had to make a camera look like it's traveling at 300 mph, but you couldn't make it actually travel at 300 mph so you had to slow everything down and build devices to do that. So you were constantly engineering."
"Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content."
"It's very much like filmmaking always is-you're always asked to do something that you're not sure you know how to do. So you make an educated guess as to what you think will work and you hope between that and plan B, that you can end up with a product that's really good."
