Dad, today I made a plan - a fundamental plan. I’m going to earn money, a lot of it. University, a career, marriage, those are all fine, but first I’ll earn money. When I have money, I’ll buy the house. On the day we move in, Mom and I will be in the yard. Because the sunshine is so nice there. All you’ll need to do is walk up the stairs. Take care until then. So long.

You know, a seed has to totally destroy itself to become a flower. That’s a violent act, honey boy.

The Fall (2006) dir. Tarsem Singh

[David] Fincher, who is listed as presenting The Fall along with... Spike Jonze, said of Tarsem’s approach, “He told me when he was going in that ‘my production value is going to be the earth; I’m going to use the entire world as my backdrop.’ “I was like, ‘What does that mean?,’ and then I saw that montage where he literally covers 10 countries. I kept asking him, ‘That’s a matte painting, right?’ And he’d say, ‘Nope, that was a real place,’ and he’d explain where that place was and how he’d found it on some Pepsi commercial or some Audi commercial that he’d done.” Mr. Jonze added: “Had a studio done what he did, it would have been an $80 million movie. But he’s so experienced at it and knows people in all these countries and knows how to shoot with a tiny crew. That’s how he got away with it. But still, he spent his own money, which is insane.” — [x]

Money is not life’s report card. Being successful doesn’t mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you’re successful, but that doesn’t mean that you’re happy.
