Quote

Every worldview I chose, it seemed, edged me toward belief.

My worldview comes from a collection of the books I have read, the people I have met, and my conversations with my dad.

A world view is probably an expression of self.

My philosophy comes from a worldview that looks at the world as one. It's a holistic view that sees the world as interconnected and interdependent and integrated in so many different ways, which informs my politics.

I see the world from a very specific perspective. It is how I grew up. It is what I am proud of, and I vocalize it. And for those who have not experienced my experience, it is odd, and it's not mainstream.

My impulse is to create an aesthetic that's about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters.

My point of view when I make a book or I make a movie is to see the humanistic point of view. The point of view of the daily life of normal people.

I had grown up in a humanist atmosphere, and war to me was never anything but horror, mutilation and senseless destruction, and I knew that many great and wise people felt the same way about it.

I write what I think is funny and I write from a sense of popping a balloon or a sense of injustice, whether it's about yourself, or whether it's about something else. It's my worldview; it doesn't mean that everybody has to agree with it.

I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that's part of me. It's what I judge everything else against.
