"We are storytellers first and foremost - filmmakers second."

"We are merely human beings trying to survive on this Earth and storytelling is an essential tool that allows us to share the experiences of other human beings. It has been this way long before stories were written down, before there was writing, even before there was language. It is through our stories that we establish and maintain our connections with the rest of humanity. So, when we go to a movie, we don't go to 'see a movie'. We go to immerse ourselves in the personal journeys of other individuals. We go to experience a movie."

"Films are forced into existence. And the primary fuel that drives the process is the passion and vision of the director. With our passion, films get made."

By Mark Travis from his new book: Directing Feature Films: The Creative Collaboration Between Director, Writers and Actors

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great."
-Comte DeBussy-Rabutin.

There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. ... there are some loves that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity. Someone who never lets go. Someone who cherishes you forever. and i'm very lucky to have that one person!

-Ally Mcbeal

I still believe in paradise, but now at least I know it is not some place that you can look for because it is not where you go...It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you are a part of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever...

the way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore.....Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them ... it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound,you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.-

treasure the people round you coz u dunno when will they be gone...

Loving Completely

At sunrise everything is luminous, but not clear. It is often the same with those we live with and love and should know: they elude us. Yet you can love completely without complete understanding.
