One reason that I don’t look at my films again once they’re finished is because I’ve already learned from them what I’m going to learn and watching them over again doesn’t teach me anything. There’s a quote by the French poet Paul Valéry; he said, "a poem is never finished, only abandoned."

Zhuang Zi:
"Language is not merely the sound of blowing wind.
Words carry meaning,
even if that meaning is not fixed.
Is something truly being said? Or has nothing been said at all?
It’s believed to be different from the chirping of birds,
but is there really a difference, or not?"
