After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?
Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.
Scientists in different disciplines don't speak the same language. They publish in different journals. It's like the United Nations: You come together, but no one speaks the same language, so you need some translators.
We are driven by the same fears and the same loves and the same ambitions and the same desires, whatever language we speak.

Everywhere I have gone in the world, even though we don't speak the same language, food is the same language.
People who share the same language, French or Chinese or whatever, have the same vocal cords and emit sounds which are basically the same, as they come from the same throats and lungs.
When I sit down with filmmakers, I feel like we speak the same language in a lot of ways. We watch the same movies and have the same influences. If anything, it creates a dialogue that makes my work more effective.
A song is like a smile. If you meet people from another country, even if you don't speak the same language, you know what a smile means. A song works the same way. Music produces feelings that need no translation.
