You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters.

All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.

When a scene is being shot, it is very difficult to know what one wants it to say, and even if one does know, there is always a difference between what one has in mind and the result on film.

Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.

Analytics, math, science has gone into a lot of different areas of the NBA.

I'm an optimist. My own fiction, while it has its own dark warnings about pitfalls ahead, depicts the potential of science to improve society by networking human minds.

Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future.

Authentic discovery, when captured on camera, I think, is tremendous acting.
