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

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.

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.

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.

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

Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention.

One reason I never patent my products is that if I did it would take so much time, I would get nothing else done. But mainly I don't want my discoveries to benefit specific favored persons.

You really are being quite foolish to smoke.

Obviously, I like to write stories that are page-turners. But I always try my very, very hardest to be as factually true as possible.

If the economy is growing, people want to employ more workers. If you hire more labor, wages go up.

Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.

An architect does not need to spend his whole career making monuments for rich people.
