“The recipe for great art has always been misery and a good bowel movement.”

“The government wants to be aware of all your movements—probably including your bowel movements. Ain’t that some shit?”

“The great art of films does not consist of descriptive movement of face and body, but in the movements of thought and soul transmitted in a kind of intense isolation.”

“we can't go on ... having regular bowel movements ... while creation happens!”

“Success has always been a great liar”

“One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. "Good" is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a "common good"! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.”
