“The Muse visits during the act of creation, not before. Don't wait for her. Start alone.”

“Every great film should seem new every time you see it."Roger Ebert”

“The Muse visits during the process of creation, not before.”

“What I believe is that all clear-minded people should remain two things throughout their lifetimes: Curious and teachable.”

“Start. Don’t look back. If at the end it doesn’t meet your hopes, start again. Now you know more about your hopes.”

“Because we are human, because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live.”
