If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

When people have not the same ideas, it is certainly better not to talk about them.

Sometimes people complicate things by thinking too much about what someone might think of what they said or did.

Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It's an obsession of mine: that different people in different places are thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people.

Sometimes people mistake the way I talk for what I am thinking.

When like-minded people, talking mostly with one another, end up thinking a more extreme version of what they thought before they started to talk... If you put a bunch of rebels in a room and ask them to discuss rebellion, they'll get more extreme.

I think it's a very firm part of human nature that if you surround yourself with like-minded people, you'll end up thinking more extreme versions of what you thought before.

If two people have only one thought between them, something is very wrong.

I've found that if I say what I'm really thinking and feeling, people are more likely to say what they really think and feel. The conversation becomes a real conversation.

Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much.
