"What I'm trying to do is make films that are a little bit ahead of their time, that will still be relevant in twenty or thirty years."

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

"The only way to make a good film is to be obsessed."

"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can be meaningful."

"I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect film. It's an impossibility."
