“In the beginning of my twenties, I started transcendental meditation. For years I did nothing else. Every holiday I went to courses. Meditation is a real simple instrument. You don't need a long beard or a sari. It's meant to bring you to yourself. It's as easy as that. And that's what it's all about, being alone with yourself every day, for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening.” NeedsYearsLongRealCoursesEasySimpleMorningMeditationMinutesTwentiesInstrumentsEveningHolidayBeardTranscendentalTranscendental MeditationSari Author:Peter Lindbergh
“Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you.

“I learned that you really don't have any control as a writer. Waah, waah, waah. Big deal. Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control. As someone who's just writing scripts, you just kind of have to shrug. I have no problems or issues with screenwriting in general. It is what it is.” WritingKindProblemBigsDealsIssuesDirectorsScriptsNo ProblemBig DealScreenwritingIt Is What It IsWriting Scripts Author:Bret Easton Ellis
“I think the books are the books. They were conceived as books. They weren't conceived as movies. When I write scripts, that's an idea and a situation that I think is a really good idea for a movie. When I'm writing a book, I'm not thinking, "Oh, this would be a great movie." This would be a very interesting book. And I think the books are things that cannot really be adapted into another medium.” ThinkingWritingBookIdeasWould BeInterestingSituationScriptsMediumsGood IdeasVery InterestingWriting A BookAdaptedInteresting Book Author:Bret Easton Ellis
“If you come at movies with your own sense of morality and not your own sense of aesthetics, I think you're screwed. I think that's not a way to look at movies.” IfsThinkingWayLooksMoralityAesthetics Author:Bret Easton Ellis
“If you start looking at movies on a moral level - "I don't like that, that hurts, that's mean, that's bad" - then I don't even want to talk to you. Or like, someone that says "I don't like science-fiction movies," or "I don't want to sit through a Western," or "I don't like violence in movies," then I completely tune out.” IfsWantMeanHurtLevelsFictionMoralViolenceScience FictionWesternTunesScience Fiction MovieViolence In Movies Author:Bret Easton Ellis

“I've always written songs to use music as a form of therapy or as a way to look at my obstacles or my memories from a different perspective. It's always helped me realize the grass isn't always greener and how I need to live more in the moment.
