Growth

You shouldn't make films because you want to be famous. You make them like you’re moving through the world and trying to understand your local yoga class.

You should never meet your heroes, because your heroes are all broken.

I like to look at the world as if it’s a place where I’m constantly learning.

Every human has their own story. It’s up to you to make it interesting.

When you work with really great directors, you feel a little ashamed for your profession.

Embrace the challenges, because that's where the growth comes from.

When we appreciate and respect the diversity in other people, we are enriched.

I've never been one to shy away from personal growth.

I'm always trying to be a better person.

Music is my way of understanding.

I think most people ultimately come to their own understanding or acceptance of their influences.

I think it's important to be with people that challenge you.

I think music is naturally something that kind of transcends age.

Change is good.

Everybody’s got their own path.

The doctor put her hands over my liver, she told me my resentment's getting smaller.

You miss the world; it misses you; if you miss you, you miss the world.

The object we call a book is not the real book, but its potential, like a musical score or seed. It exists fully only in the act of being read; and its real home is in the head of the reader, where the symphony resounds, the seed germinates.

Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.
