“The disease and its medicine are like two factions in a besieged town; they tear one another to pieces, but both unite against their common enemy, Nature.”
“It is obvious that the greatest and most important service that is required of our agriculture under existing conditions is an enlarged production of the staple food crops.”
“The number one goal of teachers should be to help students learn how to learn.”
“Did you ever wake up with an erection...and find yourself in a massage chair at Brookstone? And you yell to the sales clerk "I'll take it!"”
“I see my finished platinum print (in the viewfinder) in all its desired qualities, before my exposure.”
“The idea of difficulty animates us all the time. We donâ€™t want man to be an angel; we want him to be a hero. That is to say, a man like us, but who does extraordinary things. He jumps, yes, but in spite of the law of gravity. And everything he does is always â€˜in spite of.â€™”
“I think a lot of the production process is always giving yourself, like what I call like escape routes, like, if this scene doesn't play, if we realize we've had too many dirty scenes in a row, and it's like, because you don't have the luxury when you're in the middle of shooting, to see how these scenes play all in a row, kind of, you know what I mean. So, like we're always trying to like have insurance policies on, ok, if that doesn't work, we can just jump to this thing.”

“The joy is in the journey, not the destination. We have a better chance of seeing where we are when we stop trying to get somewhere else.”
