Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about.

Be positive, be positive. It's rough out there, but don't succumb. Don't succumb to the cynicism in the world.

I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice.

The future isn't just something that happens. It's a brutal force, with a great sense of humor, that'll steamroll you if you're not watching.

I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me.

Take it from your own life, write what you believe in.

Optimism is a revolutionary act

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world.

Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.

Human beings connect with a holy hug.

He looked along the line of children, exhibits A to C of his existence and heirs to the twisted throne of his corrupt genetics.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil ignorance.

I always wear the same thing at home. I can't be bothered with jewelry. My pants have elastic waists. I like to be comfortable. There are so many more important things to worry about.

The speculators deadly enemies are: Ignorance, greed, fear and hope. All the statute books in the world and all the rules of all the Exchanges on earth cannot eliminate these from the human animal.

I once heard an exec say, "If you don't ask for it, we can't give it to you." We can't go through our lives just being grateful for everything.

I always want to try and see what the appeal is in anything. It's the healthiest and most honest approach.

When you have a choice, choose happy!

Those that consult more, make less mistakes

Everyone sniggered because I was going to do a sandal and toga movie. But I knew exactly how to do it and I know how to make Robin Hood.
