I don't like 3D. I don't believe there is any film that I have seen and loved that would have been improved by a scintilla in 3D. To me, it's just a gimmick.

Ive never seen a more terrifying film than 'The Bababook'. It will scare the hell out of you as it did me.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars. That is not for me. That is for my nephews and nieces. I don't get it.

There are many untalented people making millions of dollars in the film business.

Life is sacred gift.

Get drunk with love!!

Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.

The very life within you is longing to be joyful because joyfulness is the nature of the source of creation.

Sure there's contagion in the tears of friends.

Only those who serve with love are able to protect!

The fact is, we'll never build a lasting economic recovery by going deeper into debt at a faster rate than we ever have before.

Donald Trump's idea that more nations should get nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea.
