• A veces me pregunto cuál será el aire acondicionado de mis últimos días. ¿Qué añadirán para que sea imposible estar incómodo? Porque doy por sentado que, como anciano, estaré muy cómodo. Habrá algo -un fármaco o alguna forma de influir en el aire que me rodea- que cuando me relaje, me sentiré muy bien. Así que lo espero con impaciencia.

• Se puede ir de excursión al interior de Yellowstone. Puedes acampar en la zona rural de Yellowstone. Puedes llevar comida al interior de Yellowstone, y estás rodeado de osos pardos. Y es una situación muy, muy emocionante y peculiar. Cada sonido que oyes en la noche, te preguntas ¿es un oso pardo que viene a destrozar mi tienda?

• If you were a person in Rockhampton who is wondering where your next job was coming from, and you had the prospect of one of Australia's largest ever coal projects with a very, very long life span being developed and reviving the regional economy. And you saw the Greens in particular doing their little best to stop it happening.

• You know, if you use instrument, why, you have to stay on perfect time - timing. And if you do a cappella - I'm so bad, just wonder, you know, maybe I'll sing one verse this way and one verse another. And if you're doing it a capella, you don't have to keep any time. You can just go out as far as you want to with it.

• I thought that perhaps if the sky was truly free of clouds and any other distractions (birds, kites, skywriting), we could see if there was something else out there. I wasn't really raised in any religion (in England I attended an Anglican school and went to a Methodist church, but I left that all behind at the age of eight when we moved to the U.S.), but like most people, I sometimes wonder if there's anything or anyone out there.

• Creo que unas tres cuartas partes de la moneda estadounidense están en manos de traficantes de droga, evasores fiscales, rusos y chinos. Otros piensan que quieren protegerse de la caída de su propia moneda. Cuando el 75% de las divisas y aún más de los billetes de 100 dólares de alta denominación están en el extranjero, uno se pregunta si es a esa gente a la que realmente queremos pagar. Si nos deshacemos de los billetes de 100 dólares, sus tenedores extranjeros serán los principales perdedores.

• The kind of sleep that I had during my own film [Certified Copy] screening in Cannes is different. It's not because of the specificity of the film. It was because of my relationship as an author to this film. Usually when I take my films to festivals, I feel incredibly anxious about them. I wonder how it will be received, how the audience will react. I feel deeply responsible for them. Whereas this time, I didn't have that responsibility on my shoulders.

• Success for me is going beyond money and power, and measuring success based on a third metric - one founded on well-being, wisdom, our ability to wonder and to give back. Money and power by themselves are a two-legged stool. You can balance on them for a while, but eventually you're going to topple over. Basically, success the way we've defined it is no longer sustainable.

• Consciousness-Based Education is education that is in most ways exactly like regular education, but with the added technique of Transcendental Meditation. Transcendental Meditation, or TM as it's often referred to, allows students to dive in and experience the unbounded ocean of consciousness within each of us, the big treasury, the field within each of us that is the base of all matter and all mind. It's been found that transcending and experiencing that unbounded, eternal level of life does wonders for education, and for human beings.

• Solía querer suicidarme porque había perdido mucho de lo que sabía que era debido a toda la invalidación de la gente. Te hace entrar en una espiral en la que dices: "Espera, sé que tengo esta cualidad, sé cuál es mi integridad...", hasta que te dan toda esa información falsa sobre ti. Empiezas a preguntarte por qué. No te sientes bien contigo mismo porque ya no crees en ti.

• What I'm interested in is the protection of children from violence, and they are exposed to violence every single day in the form of, as it's called, the news. Then you wonder why the children are running around, doing the things in the streets, doing the things that they've seen the adults doing in the so-called news.

• It's impressive that a man [Dalai Lama], on the day after his Nobel Prize was announced, in October, 1989, said to me, "I really wonder if my efforts are enough?" Most of us, if we just won the Nobel Prize, would think this is vindication, or at last there's a chance for Tibet. He's the rare person who thinks, as a Buddha would, "I don't know if I've done enough, I don't know if I will do enough."
