Quote

With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed.

Love's a recurring theme through my work.

Frustration, although quite painful at times, is a very positive and essential part of success.

I blame my work for a lot of things. I thank my work for a lot of things, too, but the trouble with being so passionately involved in work is that it becomes like a lover, like your partner, because it nourishes you.

Well, I don't think I'll ever stop being frustrated or feel fulfilled artistically.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

Passion is momentary; love is enduring.

Needing to have things perfect is the surest way to immobilize yourself with frustration.

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I've never been happier.
