Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.

It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.

I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.

People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.

Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.

I'm not a member of a minority but I can empathize with what's going on.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.

You can't please everyone... If you make a good movie, that's all that matters.

I think it's easier to make a film with 200 million dollars than 960 grand.

You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.

Whoever believe in Jesus Christ, shall receive remission of sins.

To be brave in misfortune is to be worthy of manhood; to be wise in misfortune is to conquer fate.

Sometimes my pathology just spills out into the camera doesn't it?

Hemingway describes literary New York as a bottle full of tapeworms trying to feed on each other.

If I can't be daring in my work or the way I live my life, then I don't really see the point of being on this planet.

Stated clearly enough, an idea may cancel itself out.

The desire to reach hearts is wise

I believe that the best way to help people understand the world is to provide them with opportunities to actively explore, experiment, and express themselves.

I do accept at least half of what society in general holds to be right.

We need to forge a whole new energy and American Dream.
