'American Dream' is a small little movie made for under a million dollars. Totally independent feature.

The greatest directors are the greatest users. They use people's talents to tell the story that they want to tell.

It's great to be recognized for work, and the work is great, but once you have the awards, it becomes less important. It just gives you the ability to do better work, in my opinion.

Very few people make exterior movies anymore. It's always action films driven by action and quick editing.

There are films that are difficult. There are films that would actually affect your personal life because of the length of the production, how long [you're away] from the family.

If you take away 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan', I like 'Minority Report' a lot.

I had very little involvement with 'TinTin'. Very little involvement. So I can't really elaborate on that either.

["War Horse"] does have action as well, but we allow the audience to appreciate the environment where these characters are from because the lens shapes the people, as we know.

It would be horrible to be micro-managed! I don't think directors can really micro-manage people. It's just impossible.

[I] love 'Munich', man. That's a very underappreciated film.

Really fantastic film, 'Munich'. So yeah, if I would say, what's the most underappreciated film, I think 'Munich' would be the one.

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.

Actually, I'm an overnight success. But it took twenty years.

I live like a woman and I love like a man. If only, you can deal with it.

We really only have two choices. Play it safe, or take a chance. For me, pulling back because of fear has always made me feel worse.

O yellow eye, let me be sick with your heat, let me be feverish and frowning.

Sensation tell us a thing is. Thinking tell us what it is this thing is. Feeling tells us what this thing is to us.

If I wanted to fight to make a better world racially, I wouldn't be in the music business. You dig, if I were going to be a freedom fighter music is the wrong field.

I think if you're behind the times, you've failed. I think the only way to measure success is being right on time with what people want.

I also believe, without any supporting evidence, that cats are evil.

Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.
