Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.
I'm a pretty chaotic person, but I'm also a perfectionist. It's a very unfortunate mix.
We made a film about the need for silence and withdrawal. . . and here we are at the epicentre of noise and excitement. Life is full of surprises.
I have this theory that if you do a film, those who have not fallen asleep or left the cinema, they will live with the film much longer, and it will really enter their imagination and the subconscious much more profoundly.
I usually make films about what's on my mind at any given time.
I never made films like kind of career moves, like making this film in order to make that film in order to end up in Hollywood.
From film to film, even documentaries, I was learning the medium and learning how to bring form into some kind of relationship with the content, how to work it, and above all, how to create some kind of order out of chaos.
I'm hard pressed to give an example on the spot of a president who explicitly spoke of the vindication of history, but I'm confident that there are many such examples.
My desire is to strive toward perfection; to be as much in harmony with God's will as possible; to live up to the highest light I have. I'm still not perfect, of course, but I grow daily. . . I am able to do everything I am called to do, and I do know what I need to know to do my part in the Divine Plan. And I do experience the happiness of living in harmony with God's will for me.
I adore the game, but wouldn't be interested in being the England coach in a million years.
I grew up in a Navy family.
