“The incarnation began with Jesus and it has never stopped . . . God takes on flesh so that every home becomes a church, every child becomes the Christ-child, and all food and drink become a sacrament. God's many faces are now everywhere, in flesh, tempered and turned down, so that our human eyes can see him.”
“I'm not an easygoing guy as a director.”
“I like to read because it kills me.”
“When you want a thing deeply, earnestly and intensely, this feeling of desire reinforces your will and arouses in you the determination to work for the desired object.”
“There is something wrong with using faith - belief without evidence - as a political weapon. I wouldn't say there is something similar about using science.

Cinema is also political in this way.”
“I could probably say a lot of things, but I'm not sure they'd be fit for publication.”
“I'm free of stress and worries now because if I don't like something I'm doing, I just find the fun in it instead of being miserable. Let me have fun with the people I work with, let me have fun making money - when I grew up so poor, ya know?”
