I'll never be a good writer, and no chance of being a good actor.

It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.

I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.

People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.

Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.

Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.

I'm not a member of a minority but I can empathize with what's going on.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.

You can't please everyone... If you make a good movie, that's all that matters.

I think it's easier to make a film with 200 million dollars than 960 grand.

It is not the size of a seed, but the size of what rises from it.

you must understand why you felt what you did, and why you no longer need to feel it

I've never needed government to hold my hand.

You are the love and joy beneath the pain.

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.

No cop was ever born who wasn't a sucker for a finely-executed high-speed Controlled Drift all the way around one of those clover-leaf freeway interchanges.

I'm not someone who thinks about the past. I'm so busy thinking about what I'm going to do today.

A politician taking campaign money from gamblers in Nevada is like one taking campaign money from the auto people in Michigan. Gambling is our legal business.

I have a sense that many Americans, especially those like me with European or foreign parents, feel they have to invent their families just as they have to invent themselves.

I sing because I'm happy.
