I also love Australian movies. I love Muriel's Wedding - I've seen in six times. Baz Luhrmann's best movie is strictly ballroom... without question.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?

Blade Runner was the godfather of all these fantastic movies that occur today. What's frustrating is that we're short of really great writing and great ideas. Blade Runner was full of them.

It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have [in aliens]. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.

In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

I think one of the successes of Gladiator is how we manage to turn on a dime the character from one thing to another where you believe he is one thing and he is something very different.

But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.

Once you crack the script, everything else follows.

Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.

Nowadays, everything's evolved into superheroes and it's boring. If I see one more superhero movie I'm going to shoot myself.

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

Commitment shows up before results do!

What's make you think that people will other type of clothes are special??I can go to the shop buy such clothes and what??? Now I am important??

Media must not be allowed to carry only bad news

Giving advice is many times only the privilege of saying a foolish thing one's self, under the pretense of hindering another from doing one.

We have to give up the idea of realism to a far greater extent than most physicists believe today.

Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.

The secret of the creative life is to feel at ease with your own embarrassment.

Life's like a play; it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

Fine artists deal with finery, but I deal with painful material.
