Every since high school I've been drawn to magazines.

Movies without meaningful dialogue play well all over the world. The Apostle is probably the best movie of the year, but it won't do squat in Korea.

I was dyslexic before anybody knew what dyslexia was. I was called 'slow'. It's an awful feeling to think of yourself as 'slow' - it's horrible.

Beauty doesn't have anything to do with prettiness. Beauty has to do with something else; it gets into an area where words can't go.

Style is the most ephemeral thing I know. It's not about how effective you are it's about how you are effective.

My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture.

Twilight is about getting older and relationships - not about a murder mystery. It's about love when you reach a certain age; nothing is in primary colors.

I couldn't sit down and write a novel or a short story - even now - because of my dyslexia. But I learned narration through movies.

Sometimes other people have better ideas.

It's interesting that there are places that words can't get to.

My education was an education by movies.

Damnation is eternal. That’s the whole point. Otherwise, what good would it do you?

Cooking is great, but the meal that has been prepared for you with love is the best.

...she was betting on the fact that people were basically good, despite all the Evil in the world.

Don't give up your dreams.

If God gives you rights, no man and no government can take them away from you.

I was never a girl who dreamed about what her wedding day would be like, but I've always dreamed about decorating my baby's nursery.

I want all of my films to belong to me.

If a young girl feels comfortable to pursue her passion, we as a collective will be stronger and more equipped to face the challenges life presents.

There is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness, and when you begin to build your life on that rock, with the cement of the faith in God that you have, then you have a real start.

In the eyes of mercy, no one should have hateful thoughts. Feel pity for the man who is even more at fault. The area and size of mercy is limitless.
