"Owning a business is NOT about working your ***** off for the sake of trying to squeeze out a living.Â It is NOT about making tons of money at the expense of losing tons of life.Â It IS about maximizing life, bettering your life and the lives of others, which, not so ironically, fattens your purse."

“Chess is a very positive way to exercise your mind. It makes you look at the whole picture...what are your options and what is the best thing to do? In football, you are mostly reacting from a defensive point of view...but you always want to be counterattacking...a similarity with chess strategy. Chess and offensive football are quite similar; you sacrifice something now to get something back later.”
“Translation is like a woman. If it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful.”
“Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles, damn the men that run the shops, oh, damn their measured merriment.”

“I love mixing and playing with different textures and the whole taking different designers and mixing them - I was one of the first, I think, to not do a full runway look, yet there's always a method to the madness, which is the harmonious discord.”
“When film is not a document, it is dream. That is why Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn't explain. What should he explain anyhow? He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. All my life I have hammered on the doors of the rooms in which he moves so naturally. Only a few times have I managed to creep inside. Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure - THE SERPENT'S EGG, THE TOUCH, FACE TO FACE and so on”

“In our culture of constant access and nonstop media, nothing feels more like a curse from God than time in the wilderness. To be obscure, to be off the beaten path, to be in the wilderness feels like abandonment. It seems more like exile than a vacation. To be so far off of everyoneâ€™s radar that the world might forget about us for a while? Thatâ€™s almost akin to deathâ€¦[But] far from being punishment, judgment, or a curse, the wilderness is a gift. Itâ€™s where we can experience the primal delight of being fully known and delighted in by God.”
