My point of view when I make a book or I make a movie is to see the humanistic point of view. The point of view of the daily life of normal people.
You can't be attending to your dream only when you perfectly feel like doing so. Its pursuit has to become a big part of your daily life.
As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.
We know from daily life that we exist for other people first of all, for whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.

When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life.
Great answers are found in tough questions. Never give up because of how hard the seed it; it’s a proof that it carries sweeter fruits!
When you are fired because of laziness, dare to fire back with the spirit of enthusiasm. Rise up at the same time and at the same place that you have fallen. You can’t give up!
Thinking without acting makes you a coward. Acting without thinking makes you insane. You need both the thoughts and actions; they never walk alone!
You can’t keep your feet on the ground, hoping to enjoy the fruits of your labour. The fruits are on the top; keep climbing till you pluck them with your hands!
