crowds rolling murder
Speaking in front of a large crowd is not pleasant. Once it gets rolling, it's okay. But beforehand, it's murder.
dark balance used
Dark things have always existed but they used to be in a proper balance with good when life was slower.
our-world light worry
There's so many problems in our world, so much negativity. Don't worry about the darkness - turn on the light and the darkness automatically goes. Ramp up the light of unity within - help do that for yourself, help do that for the world and then we're really doing something, we're doing something that brings that light of unity.
sick want film
Don't make a film if it can't be the film you want to make. It's a joke, and a sick joke, and it'll kill you.
crazy doors genre
It's crazy to close doors to any genres.
simple ideas cards
It's a simple thing he [Frank Daniel] taught me. If you want to make a feature film, you get ideas for 70 scenes. Put them on 3-by-5 cards. As soon as you have 70, you have a feature film.
vices thumbs vice-versa
My rule of thumb is, what Siskel and Ebert like, I don't, and vice versa.
attitude ideas work-out
I let the actors work out their ideas before shooting, then tell them what attitudes I want. If a scene isn't honest, it stands out like a sore thumb.
dream ideas people
Stories have tangents; they open up and become different things. You can still have a structure, but you should leave room to dream. If you stay true to your ideas, filmmaking becomes an inside-out, honest kind of process. And if it's an honest thing for you, there's a chance that people will feel that, even if it's abstract.
dream sleep world
When you sleep, you don`t control your dream. I like to dive into a dream world that I've made, a world I chose and that I have complete control over.
going-away attempting opening
Freedom. It's like no constraints, an opening, and then barriers going away and lifting and breaking and experimentation and...it's like attempting for something.
doors confusion darkness
I like darkness and confusion and absurdity, but I like to know that there could be a little door that you could go out into a safe life area of happiness.
interesting people months
The interesting thing that happens for many people when they first start meditating is that they'll be doing it for a few months, and they will begin to change, but the experience is so subtle that they're not even aware of it.
teacher school giving
Consciousness-based education, which I am helping to promote, is basically the same education that good schools are giving today with Transcendental Meditation added for the students, teachers, staff, and principal.
