you are not working hard enough.
you are not entitled to success.
you need to read and educate yourself more about your craft.
you need to be humble and recognize you are not the best at what you do.
you need to be more enthusiastic and passionate about your work.
you need to stay in on weekends.
you are not working hard enough.

Christopher Doyle. I was very fortunate to see Mr. Doyle speak last year. Which I believe was the perfect time to see the great cinematographer. Last year was a year that saw me wandering and homeless. I have learned more about myself, life and other people — having nowhere to call home then any university could ever teach me. Listening to Doyle speak I sensed a kindred spirit. I have been restless and anchorless for a long time. However listening to his great stories I felt that having no path was my path and that was okay.
“I left Australia when I was 18 and I’ve been a foreigner for 36 years. I think that’s very important to the way I work because as a foreigner you see things differently. But I started making Chinese-language films so I regard myself as a Chinese filmmaker. I just happen to be white. Or pink, actually.” Christopher Doyle
At this point in my life I want to set down my anchor and lose myself in the work that lies ahead of me. Chris Doyle is one of the most inspiring people I have had the chance to see.
“My best film is always my next film. I couldn’t make Chungking Express now, because of the way I live and drink I’ve forgotten how I did it. I don’t believe in film school or film theory. Just try and get in there and make the bloody film, do good work and be with people you love.” Christoper Doyle
Is it wrong that I still wish this was the view on every street corner? There’s something friendly, yet invariably informal about half grown little lads donned out in the style of their fathers. Children should remain for as long as possible, soon enough it all crashes down and the harsh light streams through the window that you’re not in Kansas anymore, and that, ‘yes’, this is probably as good as it’s ever going to get for you.

Comic genius: Richard Pryor (Dec. 1, 1940 - 2005), stand-up pioneer and star of innumerable film farces…
When I was in Africa, this voice came to me and said, “Richard, what do you see?” I said, I see all types of people.” The voice said, “But do you see any niggers?” I said, “No.” It said, “Do you know why? ‘Cause there aren’t any.”
I went through every phone book in Africa, and I didn’t find one god damned Pryor!
