As a filmmaker, you take reality and you tell a story from it.

Most of us want to live in harmony and peace and be good to others. Right now, however, the world is in a very turbulent time, and our leadership has gone crazy.

A movie should entertain you in a way that will also open your mind. I think movies are tools to enrich your experience.

I don't read the news anymore because I know it would make me depressed. So instead, I make beauty. I make movies.

Humanity has survived because the strong among us have, in the past, been obliged to help the weak. Without this, we would not survive.

I feel like my job is to give hope. The world is in a dark place and we are living in somewhat of a nightmare. So I want to make films to give hope.

As a human being, I will always feel that where there is oppression, I am with the underdog.

This is what art can do in our time. Unite people, and give them hope.

When I was younger, I did dark movies. It was a reflection of what I saw around me.

A good story defies the reader's expectations, and in doing so, brings them satisfaction.

When you want to learn something, all the life experiences conspire in helping you to learn.

Cats do not hunt seals. They would hunt them if they knew what seals and where to find them. But they do not know, so it's okay.

What begins at the water shall end there, and what ends there shall once more begin.

Don't bring a prop. It's almost like they were afraid nobody would know who they are.

A blocked path also offers guidance.

Like every filmmaker, I make my films to reach the widest audience possible.

The only critic is a full house.

While I was in the NFL, I would eat five times a day. I only eat twice a day now, and I box and play basketball every day. I'm extremely happy with my body and mind...

I don't have an attitude! And it CERTAINLY... doesn't need to be adjusted!
