If you have not known yourself you will never know God. — Rajneesh

Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration. — James McAvoy

All that night he thought like boomerangs fly: an idea would shoot way off into the distance, all the way to a caravan in Hollywood and, for a moment, when he had got as far away from school and reality as it was possible to go, he was reasonably happy; then it would begin the return journey, thump him on the head, and leave him in exactly the place he had started from.
