I like the idea of working in different genres and transcending genres and hopefully finding success, and ultimately make movies people like.

One of the most important things you can accomplish is just being yourself.

When you walk up to opportunities door, don't knock it... Kick that B*tch in, smile and introduce yourself

BLOOD, SWEAT & RESPECT. First two you GIVE. Last one you EARN.

Grind Hard, Shine Hard.

I've learned over the years that when it comes to success, consistency is key. Consistent hard work that we may not like doing today, but for a payoff we'll love tomorrow. Earn it. Enjoy it.

Don't be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.

Success isn't always about 'greatness'. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.

Be the person that when your feet touch the floor in the morning the devil says, "awe s***.. they're up".

There is no substitute for hardwork. Always be humble and hungry.

The jabroni beating, pie eating, trail-blazin', eyebrow raisin', all around, smack it down People's Champ, The Rock!

My life is my testimony.

This was an urban legend that didn't make it on to Snopes.com

...tethered to the ground by quotidian conversation.... the window rosy with anemic November light.

Jihad is misused by fundamentalists. The Quranic meaning is not meant for war at all, in the sense of killing.

I once saw a small child go to an electric light switch as say, Mamma, can I open the light? She was using the age-old language of exploration, the language of art.

I've always had standards about writing well. There is art in this business. There is potentially great art.

If anything goes wrong, the customer doesn't care whose fault it is. He's the one who's going to suffer anyway.

There are people who want to live and then the people who want to hold them down. I've tried to not be one of the latter my entire life.

For inside all the weakness of old age, the spirit, God knows, is as mercurial as it ever was.

The entire Earth will be converted into a huge brain
