"It's the darker things I find really beautiful. I guess I haven't learned to paint the lighter parts of life in a way that's pleasing to me, although I think it can be done—Rousseau does it, and so does Richard Diebenkorn." (artist)
"[My films] mean different things to different people. Some mean more or less the same things to a large number of people. It's okay. Just as long as there's not one message, spoon-fed. That's what films by committee end up being, and it's a real bummer to me ... Life is very, very complicated, and so films should be allowed to be, too."
"Some of my favorite directors of the 1970s became rich and famous and lost touch with other human beings not like themselves. [With social media,] I can now maintain a connection to other people, not just in the U.S. but all over the world. It allows me insight into someone who's 15 in Thailand."
