I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis..

Things never go smoothly..

We live in a kissy society..

There are times and places where not to be anyone is more honourable than to be someone..

You must not allow yourself to be advised, cautioned, influenced, persuaded.

No one can go back, but everyone can go forward..

God, harden me against myself!.

Don't take no as a full stop, treat it like a comma..

You have only one life, make the most of it.

It is always possible to improve..

We're always hardest on our own work, I guess..

I don't really get recognised very much..

Make things better than they have to be..

You are either going forward or you are not..

Often the most specific stories end up being the most universal..

I make more movies than I see..

I'd rather be really good at something or not do it at all..

I play a whole lot of instruments pretty badly, instead of playing one instrument really well..

The more you have to talk yourself into it, the more it’s not ‘it’..

It's amazing how if you turn up at a studio without an idea, a picture will take itself from momentum, and you quickly can lose control..

Do what is absolutely you and nobody else..
