The language is spare and under control and has a genuine immediacy. . . The poems never preach but are lined out with a cool and therefore devastating effect
I'm a huge electronic-music fan.
Go out and make something that reflects your interests, your taste, and your ideas. No one will pay you to make something until you have a few things you can show that you've directed. I got my start by making short films on my own.

Disney's clearly in the business of doing giant tent pole movies based on properties that they own. And that's what they should be doing because they're great at doing that.
There are a lot of limitations so you have to ultimately focus on what you think the most important storyline is.
As a director, if you know what you want, then it's not scary.
I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if you're going to be lazy.
I can't believe that Hillary Clinton wants the world to think that whenever she gets into political trouble, she's going to have her husband come roaring about, breaking furniture, sucking up oxygen, spewing carbon dioxide. My impression is that she's strong enough to defend herself - she certainly showed that in the recent Democratic debate. But apparently she's not strong enough to control Mr. Bill. . . and if that's the case, any sane voter would have to think twice before enabling this sort of circus act in the White House.
Only the great generalizations survive. The sharp words of the Declaration of Independence, lampooned then and since as 'glittering generalities,' have turned out blazing ubiquities that will burn forever and ever.
Wherever there is number, there is beauty.
