• What we definitely agree with Walter on is that filmmaking is teamwork. It's one of the only arts that is truly based in the work of a team. Anyway, Werner he told us a lot of practical things. How to hang a hammock. He'd circle a map and give us a notebook with directions to get to certain places that were out of the way. He told us to drink the river water and not use purifications tactics that only "New Age assholes" used. He said that if we saw piranhas, we should jump in and swim with them. We did all of this. We took his word as gospel.

• No negaré que mi corazón se ha ocupado durante mucho tiempo de los sentimientos más tiernos hacia otro. Tan fuertes eran estos impulsos que me complacía pensando que si no podía tener a aquel a quien admiraba, a quien admitiré ahora que no lo haría antes de amar, entonces nunca querría a otro. Sin embargo, esos son sentimientos que es mejor guardar para uno de los romances de Lily. El corazón es una cosa mucho más práctica y en su vida es felizmente capaz de más que un solo apego.

• I want to try to come away from that one directional, clear rectangular form. It's not used because it's the most beautiful form; it's just the practical thing. That's why our TVs are rectangles. Even in modern architecture, they want us to believe, "That's the nicest, most beautiful thing." I love modern architecture, but actually it's that they cannot afford amorphous shapes or ornaments.
