“There are certain moments in life of open-minded people...which really make them hard not to believe in the existence of heaven.”

“Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.”

“I try to dig deep into the well of my subconscious. At a certain moment in that process, the lid is opened and very different ideas and visions are liberated. With those I can start making a film. But maybe it's better that you don't open that lid completely, because if you release your subconscious it becomes really hard to live a social or family life.”

“There are such moments in life, when, in order for heaven to open, it is necessary for a door to close.”

“It's hard to imagine a place like that really exists. People have been judging me my whole life.”

“There is more terror in a day of life than there is at the moment of death. It is as if a door has opened to a prison, though you do not believe it is a prison while you exist within it.”
