David Lowery Quotes

American - Director | December 26, 1980 -

It's tough for me to move on from places, even though I realize that it's not only necessary but very important to be able to do so.

Me Tough Move On Important Places

I think all people are familiar with thinking about their death and trying to come to terms with the fact that we will, at some point, no longer exist. The loss of one's ego is very tough to reconcile with; you really have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to wrap your head around the idea of just not existing anymore.

Death People Ego Think Thinking You

Especially in the Western world, so much of our cultural ideas about grieving is about us, and I think it's important to get beyond that sometimes.

Ideas World Think Sometimes Beyond

I have a very short attention span, which is funny. I mean, you'd watch me and think that I don't, but I actually do.

Funny Me Think Short Attention You
