You never know what's around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain.

We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize that we only have one.

Stay hungry, stay young, stay foolish, stay curious, and above all, stay humble because just when you think you got all the answers, is the moment when some bitter twist of fate in the universe will remind you that you very much don't.

Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming. And don’t be afraid of wearing your heart on your sleeve - in declaring the films that you love, the films that you want to make, the life that you’ve had, and the lives you can help reflect in cinema. For myself, for a long time… maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn’t worth hearing, and I think everyone’s voice is worth hearing. So if you’ve got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.

I believe very strongly in kindness, in good manners, in treating people with equanimity and a sense of humour and all those things.

There are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring or afraid of showing that they care, because it's uncool. It's uncool to have passion. It's so much easier to lose when you've shown everyone how much you don't care, whether you win or lose. It's much harder to lose when you show that you care. But you'll never win unless you also stand to lose.

No such thing as original thought. We are shadows of stars that burned before our time.
