When You Make A Movie With Alejandro

Happiness Is In The Doing Not In Getting What You Want.

If You Covet Fame, If You Covet All The Superficial Accolades, You're Gonna Be Miserable 'cause You're Never Going To Get Enough Praise. If You Covet Contributing Something Substantive To Movies, Music, Literature, Then You Won't Be Unhappy.

The Experience On That Movie (dead Poets Society) Was, For Lack Of A Better Term, Life-altering. Peter Weir Has A Unique Talent For Making Movies That Are Intelligent But Also Mainstream. I've Never Been Terribly Successful At Doing That.

Whenever A Really Passionate, Talented Filmmaker Seems To Have An Interest In Me, I Take It Very Seriously Because I Like To Work.

If You Say To Yourself, Okay, I Will Not Self-destruct. I Don't Have To Be The Most Talented Person. I Don't Have To Be Everybody's Best Friend, I Don't Have To Be Liked, I Don't Have To Be Successful, Well, One Thing I Will Not Do Is Self-destruct. If You Take That Out, Your Chances For Success Just Went Up Like 800 Percent.
