You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame. Yeah, see, they die of shame. 'What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?' And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives. Thinking.

Life in the movie business is like the beginning of a new love affair: it's full of surprises, and you're constantly getting fucked.

But shame, a breaking open of the heart before God, leads, so the Rabbis say, to that true self-knowledge necessary for change.
