Even modern wars are fought like revenge tales from some petty grievance.

The success of the second 'Austin Powers' caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better.

I figure if it's turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it's hard to really picture the DVD version when I'm in production.

I'm not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director's cut of these things. So far they've turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.

I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience.

I think we'll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.

I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.

The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD.

We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.

I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.

When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.

Shame eats away at the core of who we are.

Children are marvelously and intuitively correct physiognomists. The youngest of them exhibit this trait.

I know other worlds exist. I can see them in my peripheral vision.

I'm the kind of woman who, when she walks into a party, all the other women leave the room.

Home in her apartment she'd dwell 'til the man from her dreams comes to break the spell.

An evil conscience is often quiet, but never secure.

Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.

I couldn't believe Sam actually got me a present because i honestly thought the "I love you" was it.
