Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously productively and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work it's almost just as fascinating.

But I'm acutely aware that the possibility of fraud is even more prevalent in today's world because of the Internet and cell phones and the opportunity for instant communication with strangers.

The main dangers in this life are the people who want to change everything... or nothing.

Beauty like ice our footing does betray Who can tread sure on the smooth slippery way: Pleased with the surface we glide swiftly on And see the dangers that we cannot shun.

Great perils have this beauty that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.

The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on science and art are as well.

Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.

He who angers you conquers you.

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.

If you age with somebody you go through so many roles - you're lovers friends enemies colleagues strangers you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is if you're with your soulmate.
