Purity of heart means the control of the imagination and the rigorous care of the affections.

Unfortunately for me, I was one of these people who took a long time to learn that the material at his feet was fine.

The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo.

You try to hide your emotions, so as not to show weaknesses to others. I believe it's the same for every sportsman.

I was a very, very shy, insecure teenager.

The mayor of New York is the chief executive of the city. It is a complex organization and it requires the requisite skills to understand how to be the leader of the people and manage the government of N.Y.

Now, most of the new immigrants coming to this country are from Asia as opposed to Europe.

If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
