Be curious. Be peculiar. What you watch is what you are."</p><p>"Your taste in film is a quest. You have a palate and you must refine it to match your essence. Never settle and never follow blindly."</p><p>"Film is a religious call.

The same is true of your visual language. Be curious. Want more"</p><p>"Favorite movies don't have to be perfect movies. Like in any relationship, Love is what makes them stick around."</p><p>"Great films- like diamonds- sometimes require mining. Some are hard work but their yield is precious. These films seldom get us at first viewing. But when repeated they become permanent loves."</p><p>"If we don't defend what we love- if we let it fade- then our lives loose meaning. We must declare ourselves of what we are... What we love."</p>
