Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing.

In this life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve - it's what you take!

The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that's why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It's not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.

Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.... You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do...Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.

When the mind, body, and spirit work together, I believe anything is possible.

Love is nothing but lust misspelled.

Since I was a little kid, I was against fur. I never wore fur in my life.

I do find the values in A Christmas Carol significant. It is important not to be mean and stingy and not to give up love for money.

It's got too much hard work slapping them and telling them to shut up.

It's not always like I'm right, and you're wrong. It's both ways.

Every step I take is a blessing.

Realization of God cannot be achieved without ecstatic love for Him.
