Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.

Although I'm an atheist who believes only in great nature I recognize the spiritual richness and grandeur of the Roman Catholicism in which I was raised.

The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise are good nature truth good sense and good breeding.

I would love to continue in music with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens I will bow down gracefully raise my kids and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60!

I like movies about longing and desperation and dark and light things stories about people struggling to raise children and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

We were raised without movies theater or music. We had only nature the hills the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon ' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was.

I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

Movies about space raise those questions of what we're doing here and that inevitably introduces a spiritual dimension.

I'm not Michael Moore. I think Michael Moore wants to tell you how to think. He wants to give you answers. I make movies to raise my own personal questions and not to give answers.

I was always raised on cowboy films and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.
