Although I am basically self taught I consider Debussy my teacher - the most important elements are colour light and shadow.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris like Alien had a lot of things that are similar although it's also got the horror element.

A lot of movies were influenced by 'Logan's Run ' like 'Minority Report'. A lot of films have those elements in them.

Whenever I think about movies I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film you have a musical element to it not just on the scoring but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.

I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful isn't it?

Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear but I spend all my money on my show.

I think money is due for some sort of collapse. People are going to realize that money has a half-life like radioactive elements.

Legislation to create a new 10 percent tax bracket reduce the marriage penalty cut the tax rate on dividends and capital gains and increase the child tax credit have been essential elements in this economic expansion.

People love westerns worldwide. There's something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It's a simpler time. There's no organized laws and stuff.
