Science offers us an explanation of how complexity (the difficult) arose out of simplicity (the easy). The hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything, for it simply postulates what we are trying to explain. It postulates the difficult to explain, and leaves it at that.

Richard Dawkins

Getting the book published and the movie made was not an easy task. But it helped. Because even though it's a difficult life to explain, I lived it.

Molly Bloom

Spiritual matters are difficult to explain because you must live with them in order to fully understand them.

Thomas Yellowtail

I was instructed long ago by a wise editor, "If you understand something you can explain it so that almost anyone can understand it. If you don't, you won't be able to understand your own explanation." That is why 90% of academic film theory is bullshit. Jargon is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Roger Ebert

The actors make the film. They're the ones that take this theoretical movie that's in your head and make it real. The success of a film is entirely on their shoulders. I admire them, because acting is such a difficult thing to do, and I personally can't understand it.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

The desire to explain what is simple by what is complex, what is easy by what is difficult, is a calamity.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Film is not an easy occupation. There's a lot of occupations that are difficult and film is one of them.

George Lucas

It's just not easy to explain to someone else what you don't understand yourself.

Wislawa Szymborska

It is easy to understand God as long as you don't try to explain him.

Joseph Joubert

I think any kind of comic sequence is as easy and as difficult as it is written. So, if it is written well, then it becomes easy. Sometimes you find it difficult because the humour is not coming out.

Riteish Deshmukh

I've never felt that my job was difficult because I'm a woman. It's a difficult job regardless, and it's even more difficult in Lebanon because there's no film industry. There's no structure, funding, or institutions for filmmakers.

Nadine Labaki

Nobody likes paying tolls. It's difficult to explain the concept of dynamic tolling, where the price varies to maintain the flow of traffic. And it's difficult to explain why highway widenings don't wind up helping commuters in the long run.

Robert James Thomson

Fashion is a dream. It's difficult, and there are many aspects of fashion that are very difficult, but if you love it like I do, because I really have a passion, now, for fashion, it's not easy, but nothing is easy in life.

Carolina Herrera

When I wrote I took on the role of the despondent and difficult to understand person. Whereas in life, I was easy to understand, to the point of being simple-minded maybe.

Billy Collins

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

Charlotte Gainsbourg

Millions of people have tried meditation and dropped out of it because they took it very seriously. Religion has been thought to be a very serious affair - it is not. One has to understand - at least those who are with me - that religion is a playfulness, a laughter. Take it easy; then things blossom without any tension. You are not taking it easy, you are making it difficult.

Rajneesh
