Personal Quote:

It's better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you'll be too afraid to let things keep happening. Psychology destroys the mystery, this kind of magic quality. It can be reduced to certain neuroses or certain things, and since it is now named and defined, it's lost its mystery and the potential for a vast, infinite experience. See more »

Trivia:

Served as an usher at the Presidential Inauguration of John F. Kennedy (20 January 1961). See more »

Trademark:

Constant references to dreams as a way of connecting the plot and twists in his films. See more »

Star Sign:

Aquarius
