I'm always attracted by people who are lost in their time. I think it helps us.

Live your life, experience something, and then you're going to have a lot of things to say. But if you hang around in Hollywood, then you're going to say the same thing as everyone else - nothing.

Cinema never saved anyone's life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone's life. It is only an aspirin.

I never think about franchises, to be honest. I always just do the film.

I wanted to prove that I could do something, so I made a short film. That was in fact my main concern, to be able to show that I could do one.

I won't be able to do a film just for bad reasons, for money or for - I just can't. If I have one more where I feel I can bring you something, I will do it.

I wanted to do something that was entertaining - but with a catch.

I think we have the wrong notion of commercial and intellectual or artistic film. Because all films are commercial.

I think it's the society that drains us out, and we are in a society where we are driven by money.

You know sometimes you're in a position of risk and you feel that you can turn good or bad.

Sometimes I see people finish a film and they go, "Yeah, that was good. Where are we going to eat?"

You lose yourself, Erica, because with the right person, who you become together is something so much greater, more than you could even realize right now.

When someone gives me either a democratic or republican pamphlet, I throw it in their face. I’m a librarian, damn it! We only take book donations.

I have one rave New York Times review framed next to a flop Los Angeles Times review. And it's for the same show. These people watched the same show. That's what happens. They love it, they hate it.

You should be prepared for anything during divorce proceedings - even the truth.

There is nothing God doesn't know about your life. You may know the past and present, but God also knows the future. Choose today to walk securely - not in what you know, but in what you believe.

We are destroying capitalism to pay for socialism.

I like men who are more in their heads.

Take responsibility for your finances or get used to taking orders for the rest of your life. You're either a master of money or a slave to it. Your choice.

I know the Bible is inspired because it finds me at greater depths of my being than any other book.

A baboon in a forest is a matter of legitimate speculation; a baboon in a zoo is an object of public curiosity; but a baboon in your wife’s bed is a cause of the gravest concern.
