Deutsche Übersetzung

Wörter können keine feste Bedeutung haben. Wie unbewegliche Elektronen können sie sich von ihrer ursprünglichen Umlaufbahn wegdrehen und in ein breiteres Magnetfeld eindringen. Niemand besitzt sie oder besitzt ein Eigentumsrecht, um zu bestimmen, wie sie verwendet werden.

Keri Russell is one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in my life. She's one of those girls that doesn't have that thing when you walk into the trailer in the morning, and your face is all bashed in - like a lot of actors, even the beautiful and handsome ones.

Shooting a film is like a kismet quest. You have thirty days and you need magic to happen. So that's why I wear suits. I'm praying to the gods, and I'm doing everything I can to respect the powers of the world.
