1 Age

  • 1. Every age can be enchanting provided you live within it.
  • 2. I love physical kinds of comedy and getting down and dirty and doing stunts.

So I'm naturally accustomed to putting myself into the headspace of a girl who can take care of herself.

  • 2. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 3. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.

5 Architecture

  • 1. You might say that when you step inside you're entering a honorific space but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
  • 2. We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.
  • 3. I think that narrative fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater art history architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema like cinema verite is film in its purest form.
