The artist is the confidant of nature flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.

I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature.

Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't I don't really see a point to it.

My sense is I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.

We have a very wide range of content but the brand-newest movies what's happening with those is a $30 pay-per-view option - not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others - of movies that are in the theater.

No 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.'

It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.

I've directed seven movies and know a thing or two about dealing with unexpected crises.
