The Fact That We Die,

Life Is Too Mysterious To Try To Map It Out. I've Certainly Lived Long Enough To Know It Will Take You Places You Never Thought It Would Take You - And Some Of Those Places Are Kind Of Wonderful.

Life Is Suffering. We Have Desires And Expectations And Egos, And We Compare The Reality We Have, Which Is Miraculous And Wondrous, With This Reality We Desire. That Somehow Distances Us From Actually Taking Part Fully With The Reality We Do Have, And That Creates Suffering. For Me, The Thing That I Love Is That It's All About The Present Moment.

We Live In A Time Where There's An Alienation Factor. There's A Certain Disconnection. We Don't Have Any Real Sense Of Community Anymore.

I Think It's Very Difficult, And It Requires A Tremendous Amount Of Spiritual Integrity And Discipline, To Not Be A Narcissist In A Culture That Encourages It Every Step Of The Way.

If A Scene Is Longer Than Three Pages, It Better Be For A Good Reason.
