I love comic books. Since I was a kid, I've collected them.

There's a level of immersion that is perfect and there's a level that, for my taste, starts to actually exceed what the screen can provide. At that point, you're kind of overexceeding yourself.

The boundary between real life and acting is hard to find.

The funny thing about me is I move from genre to genre, but I essentially shoot all the movies the same way.

Movies aren't just supposed to be a representation of reality. They're supposed to be an art.

One of my favourite movies is Billy Wilder's 'The Apartment.' It's shot in super wide screen, and it's beautiful.

The idea of devoting two years of my life to making a corporate product that looks and smells and tastes like a lot of other things out there with just a different trademark character is a bore.

I'm really very lucky. I get to do an awful lot. I've been able to make an incredibly wide range of movies and work with an incredible array of people.

We should be writing more great roles for women, period. Another problem is that movies are generally made for 14-year-old boys, and 14-year-old boys want to watch 25-year-old action heroes.

If you respect the events and respect the real life tragedy, you can drive your film to address it in some mature way.

Just because your leg might heal doesn't mean it doesn't feel broken. It doesn't mean that a car hitting your body doesn't hurt like the same it would hurt if a car hit your body.

How do you write? You write, man, you write, that’s how…If you practice an art faithfully it will make you wise, and most writers can use a little wising up.

I have such a deep love for traditional country music.

The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point.

I'm feeling generous today. You get to live.

All the rarest hues of human life take radiance and are rainbowed out in tears.

If only there is a sufficient number of people whose experience of life goes beyond body and mind, this world will be a very different place.

Desire of greatness is a godlike sin.

Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.

There's really kind of nobody we can trust.

He is truly great who is little in his own eyes and makes nothing of the highest
