2014 film log

"We all have thirty dollar lives in the end, you know."

"Sometimes the old ways are best."

"You think you're alive, but you're really dead."

Reggie: "Why do people have to tell lies?"
Peter: "Usually it's because they want something. They are afraid the truth won't get it for them."

"You were my new dream."

"Two roads diverged in the wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

"People call those imperfections, but no, that's the good stuff."

"Man's pleasures are eating and making love. If he can't do that...even big executives have no reason to live without that."

"How do you tell a child that she was born to be hurt?"

"Will you kiss me if we get married?"

"Why worry of consequence, when after death you no longer exist?"

"At least some people wait for a man to die before swooping over him like vultures."

"This is how it always ends. With death. But first there was life, hidden beneath the blah, blah, blah... It's all settled beneath the chitter chatter and the noise, silence and sentiment, emotion and fear. The haggard, inconstant flashes of beauty. And then the wretched squalor and miserable humanity. All buried under the cover of the embarrassment of being in the world, blah, blah, blah..."

"Everybody's got at least one thing they need."

"To me, the great hope is that now these little 8mm video recorders and stuff have come out, and some... just people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be making them. And you know, suddenly, one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart, you know, and make a beautiful film with her little father's camera recorder. And for once, the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed, forever. And it will really become an art form. That's my opinion."

"I screw better than God."

"I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you've lost."

"You Freud, me Jane?"

"Friends can be found in the strangest of places."

"Is everything right because the law allows it?"

"There, you see? The most important words in the English language are not 'I love you' but 'It's benign.'"

"I really don't think this is the time or place to get into this."

"While we may not be blessed with all the candy we want, we can eat the fresh, clear breeze, and drink the beautiful peach-coloured rays of the sun. In the forest or fields I have often seen torn, ragged clothes become the finest velvet, wool, or diamond-studded dresses. These types of beautiful foods and clothes are my favourites. My stories were written amongst forests, fields and railroads, gifts from the rainbows and moonlight. Walking through the oak forest in the blue twilight, trembling in mountain breeze of November, this emotion overwhelms my entire being. Feeling the absolute reality of these stories, I wrote them as they seemed."

"Don't anything make you wanna smile?"

"Anything worth having is worth suffering for, isn't it?"

"What kind of detective sleeps well?"

"I swear, if you existed, I'd divorce you."

"It's not about what comes next."

"I think anybody who falls in love is a freak. It's a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity."

----------------------------------------------------

"The past is just a story we tell ourselves."

"You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family."

"Love distort things. Or even worse, love is something you've never asked for."

"Fill all my holes."

"You have a nice personality, and you know sweaters."

"You see, there are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity."

"Well, think of it as jewellery."

"The worst thing is not knowing."

"Usually I waste no love on the rich."

"I'm not sure where it all leads."

"The wind bloweth where it listeth."

"You can't buy your child.
...the most important thing for a child is your time."

"Are you talking about your novel or your life?"

"You've got to learn to let things go."

"This is my happening and it freaks me out!"

"What does one tell a husband? One tells him nothing."

"That's the way my job is - I have to suspect everyone."
