Many of the things people worry about are not really worth worrying about: Trailer for a film I want to see

Trailer for the forthcoming documentary In No Great Hurry - 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter.

"When you consider many of the things people treat very seriously, then you realize they don't deserve to be treated that seriously. And many of the things people worry about are not really worth worrying about. If I didn't do anything more than my little book, wouldn't that have been enough?"
