"'Tough' meant it was an uncompromising image, something that came from your gut, out of instinct, raw, of the moment, something that couldn't be described in any other way. So it was tough. Tough to like, tough to see, tough to make, tough to understand. The tougher they were the more beautiful they became."

-- Joel Meyerowitz

“I'm sort of a pessimist about tomorrow and an optimist about the day after tomorrow.”
“Your beliefs and thoughts are wired into your biology. They become your cells, tissues, and organs. Thereâ€™s no supplement, no diet, no medicine, and no exercise regimen that can compare with the power of your thoughts and beliefs. Thatâ€™s the very first place you need to look when anything goes wrong with your body.”

“Translated literature can be fascinating. There's something so intriguing about reading the text second hand - a piece of prose that has already been through an extra filter, another consciousness, in the guise of the translator.

These writers were employing English in interesting ways.”

“A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.”
“I left film because I felt that photography was my art. It was something I could do on my own, whereas film was so collaborative. I thought as a photographer I could make something that was artistic and that was mine, and I liked that. And it wasn't until I got back into film and I have very small crews and I could do very tiny filmmaking that wasn't 100 people that I still felt that I was making something artistic as a filmmaker. So, you know, I'm an artist, and whether it's photography or film, I want my voice to be there and I think my voice is very strong in this film.”
“Uncertain justice by a verdict is much better than certain injustice.”

“I do not write for a select minority, which means nothing to me, nor for that adulated platonic entity known as â€˜The Massesâ€™. Both abstractions, so dear to the demagogue, I disbelieve in. I write for myself and for my friends, and I write to ease the passing of time.”
