Quote

Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way to make heads or tails of it is going through intuition.

If we didn't want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.

I love the quality, feel and history of film. I love the pictures of the giant cameras and the way it was.

I like things that go into hidden, mysterious places, places I want to explore that are very disturbing. In that disturbing thing, there is sometimes tremendous poetry and truth.

Freedom. It's like no constraints, an opening, and then barriers going away and lifting and breaking and experimentation and...it's like attempting for something.

I'm not any different than anybody else. But I do see a world, for me, that's getting better and better, not worse and worse. And I believe that world peace is coming quicker than we think. And I believe that people are not only yearning for it but will see a way to get it and help that way to come sooner. And it's going to be beautiful.

I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.

Sugar does make people happy, but then you fall off the edge after a few minutes, so I've really pretty much cut it out of my diet. Except for cupcakes. I like those.

I like things to be orderly.

The side effect of expanding consciousness is that negativity starts to evaporate it goes away like darkness when you turn on a light.

I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool!

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

In my case what happened is that within about two weeks of beginning meditation, the anger already started to go away. My wife came to me and said, What's going on? and I said, What are you talking about? To which she replied, This anger, where did it go? I didn't even realize that my anger had been going away.

I didn't really grow up listening to blues, because I grew up in the Northwest. It wasn't really the center for blues.

Cigarettes are pretty much my worst vice, and I even stopped smoking for 20 years. I spend most of my free time with my family and working on art.

I'm not really into vinyl. There's something about that raw, birth of rock and roll feel that makes me crazy.

Humor is very interesting to me. My films are not comedies, but there's comedy in them from time to time, absurdities, just like in real life.

My rule of thumb is, what Siskel and Ebert like, I don't, and vice versa.

Sleep is really important. You need to rest the physiology to be able to work weel and meditate well. When I don't get enough sleep, my meditations are duller. You may even dip into sleep at the beginning of your meditation, because you're settling down. But if you're well rested, you'll have a clearer deeper experience.

It's crazy to close doors to any genres.
