I just don't know what makes a movie catch on and other ones don't.

It's very difficult to release an X-rated movie.

Our military thought that they couldn't get to Pearl Harbor, that it was too long a journey from Japan to get there, and they proved us wrong.

You have to start at the very bottom and you've got to do every job. I did that so I could understand what everybody does. I didn't become this huge producer overnight. It took many, many years.

Because you can't do anything halfway, you've got to go all the way in anything you do.

Well, I don't look back and celebrate. I just always worry about the next one.

I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.

We know as filmmakers where you draw the line.

If you have a crisis, whether on a ship or wherever, there are heroes who rise above it.

We want to create these dramatic situations, whether they are real or not, to entertain audiences.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

This day, you are free, because you have chosen to be free – and because of your choice, your days of insignificance are over.

Desire can be eradicated from the roots by firmly imbibing the four attributes of: Jnan, Atmanishtha, Vairagya, Dharma and the full fledged devotion to God.

No external advantages can supply self-reliance. The force of one's being ... must come from within.

When I look back, it was a strange period in my life, looking at my childhood and then my teenage years and forming Slayer when I was still 17, not out of high school.

Life packed a clever one-two punch: cruelty and absurdity.

One must be of one's time and paint what one sees.

I don't hang out with movie stars, and you won't see me going to many Hollywood parties. I'm actually quite boring.

I alone am different from the others, because I am nourished by the great mother.

I've spent many a day worrying that I will never be able to write again!

Love, what a long way, to arrive at a kiss.
