"We are such small, stupid things. For most of my life I thought of nature as the stupid thing: Blind, animal, destructive.

"Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst."
Being
"What we do at its very, very best, at its very, very most, will shift us slightly in our seat. If only for two hours, great. If for the rest of our lives, even better."
Rest
"In the editing room, 20 percent of the time you're using stuff from before the actor knew the camera was rolling or you're taking a line from somewhere else and putting it in his mouth."

"I only made two studio movies, that was a long time ago and obviously I removed myself. I think some of that is geographical. I live in New York and I want to work there, it's as simple as that."
