I'm finished with destroying for a while. It's not like I'm running around saying, 'What else can I destroy?'

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.

I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

I try to put in every one of my movies some sort of message. I don't want to overdo it, because I don't want people to get annoyed by it, but it's good to have a message.

Do not fear. Some things will never change.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do.

I think every good, entertaining movie should have a message. I really believe that, because if you do it without it, the film feels a little bit soulless.

It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.

A lot of stuff in Wikipedia is not true, and that goes for a lot of people. I sometimes think, "How can that happen?" But Wikipedia is maintained by people, and everybody can add stuff to it.

Everybody knows that the industrialized nations are the worst offenders.

Never allow negative energy to dominate the pleasures of an experience

Chicken is Good! It tastes like chicken.

How is it that food STILL contains calories that make you gain weight in the 21st CENTURY?! It’s like scientists aren’t even trying!

Fantastic! Right in the middle of that long stretch between Christmas and Spring Break, your coats are getting dirty, everything's dark, dingy - what a great time for a movie!

Live each day as if it were your last for some day it will be.

This is how the great post-partisan, post-racial, New Politics presidency ends - not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with a desperate election-eve plea for ethnic retribution.

Patience is the courage of the conqueror, the strength of man against destiny.

As I have said a thousand times, no manipulation can put stocks down and keep them down.

Keep up your conjugal love in a constant heat and vigor. Love will suppress wrath: you cannot have a bitter mind upon small provocations, against those that you dearly love.

What appears to be the end of the road may simply be a bend in the road.
