"It would take six months to get to Mars if you go there slowly, with optimal energy cost. Then it would take eighteen months for the planets to realign.

Being

"I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth."

"You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters."

Actor

"Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing."
