“I've begun to believe more and more that movies are all about transitions, that the key to making good movies is to pay attention to the transition between scenes. And not just how you get from one scene to the next, but where you leave a scene and where you come into a new scene. Those are some of the most important decisions that you make. It can be the difference between a movie that works and a movie that doesn't.”
“We canâ€™t change the world. The only thing we can change is ourselves, by trying to get a better understanding of our own messed-up wiring.”
