“When you get older, it feels like happy memories and sad memories are pretty much the same thing. It is all just emotion in the end. And any of it can make you weep.”

“To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.”

“When I try to forget you, your memories always makes a thousands question, when they don't get answers to questions, then your memories starts quarrels with me. I'm get lost in labyrinth of your memories because your memories make me desperate, how can I go away from you and from your memories, because your memories follow me everywhere and every moment.”

“As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.”

“I believe that children's souls are the inheritors of historical memory from previous generations. It's just that as they grow older and experience the everyday world that memory sinks lower and lower. I feel I need to make a film that reaches down to that level. If I could do that I would die happy.”

“Love is pretty much a decision anyway. Just like happiness. You can decide to either love someone or not, be happy or not. The rest is just commitment to the idea.”

“There are times in your life when, despite the steel weight of your memories and the sadness that seems to lie at your feet like a shadow, you suddenly and strangely feel perfectly okay.”

“Is this what sadness is all about? Is it what comes over us when beautiful memories shatter in hindsight because the remembered happiness fed not just on actual circumstances but on a promise that was not kept?”

“Feeling no remorse must be a blessing when all you have are your memories”

“Memory can make a thing seem to have been much more than it was.”
