I don't want to be a grumpy old man or too pessimistic, because if I have a chance, I would prefer to watch a film in the cinema with an audience on a big screen instead of watching it on a cell phone. It's a very different experience, but somehow I think this form will have its own future and life.
At film festivals, I put on my sunglasses and go to sleep because I don't want to see my films again.

Verstehen ist ein dreiseitiges Schwert. Es gibt deine Seite, meine Seite und die Wahrheit.
The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are; this is where we came from; and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.
Follow your passion. The rest will attend to itself. If I can do it, anybody can do it. It's possible. And it's your turn. So go for it. It's never too late to become what you always wanted to be in the first place.
People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
Positivität über allem.
Zu Reisen ermöglicht uns nicht nur eine neue Sicht auf Dinge, es bringt auch Unbekanntes in uns selbst zum Vorschein. Unser Bewusstsein wird erweitert und wir lernen uns besser einzuschätzen.
Die Kunst des Einfachen ist ein komplexes Puzzle.
Gute Gedanken zu haben reicht nicht aus, gute Taten zu tun reich nicht aus, nur anderen ein gutes Beispiel zu sein ist genug.

Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.
One of my priorities is criminal justice reform, and there is certainly bipartisan appetite for that. I think we need to eliminate the cash bail system. We need to eliminate mandatory minimums. We need sentencing reform. I think we need parole reform as well.
Wir müssen uns eingestehen, dass Dinge wie Rassismus, wirtschaftliche Ungerechtigkeit und die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich das Resultat menschgemachter Gesetze sind.
There's something to be said for perseverance.
I would not invest in a Trump hate wall. We don't need to be protected from immigrants that are coming here seeking asylum and refuge.

Wir riskieren die bestinformierteste Gesellschaft zu werden, die an Unwissenheit gestorben ist.
I think being born in Panama was a blessing because Panama is a port city. It's a really - the mentality is that - I remember that of admitting things in. You know, ports, ideas come in and out all the time.
There's something about the tango that brings even more emotion out of the lyrics.
It doesn't make sense for me to be a lawyer in a place where there is no law.
Wir alle wurden mit Rhythmus geboren. Um ein begehrter Tanzpartner zu sein, muss man nicht alle bekannten Tanzschritte lernen. Man muss einfach nur ein durchschnittlicher Tänzer sein, und das kann jeder mit ein wenig Zeit schaffen.
Menschen bleiben immer Menschen, egal wie man es betrachtet.
Sure, jets are fast and economical, but, oh my, what fun we've lost and what leisure we've sacrificed in the race to efficiency. Somehow, stepping onto a plane and zooming across the United States in a matter of hours doesn't hold a candle to the dear, old-fashioned train ride.
I yearned for a long, happy marriage with one person.
You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.
Jeder Trost ist fake.
Perhaps misguided moral passion is better than confused indifference.
Wer sich in der Philosophie nicht schleichend fortbewegt, bewegt sich vermutlich gar nicht fort.
