I'm passionate about stories that have humanity, compassion and humor.

It's always money no matter kind of budget you have, though, it forces you to be creative and not take anything for granted.

If you pitch your movie to someone and they say, "Oh, please, don't make that. No one would see it." Do it! Because that means you may have something that's not the norm.

Create your own path. Cultivate it. It'll take time. It doesn't happen overnight. I was an actor for many years before I got behind the camera.

Securing distribution is always a battle. And to get a film released is a pretty special accomplishment.

Character driven stories engage me and when an audience gets to know a character in an unforced way and finds themselves rooting for him or her, those are the kind of movies that get me excited.

My advice on-set is to make every day better than last one. Change is good.

Improvise when obstacles present themselves. Happy accidents are magic! Have an open mind.

Above all, do not attempt to use science (I mean, the real sciences) as a defence against Christianity. They will positively encourage him to think about realities he can’t touch and see.

U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.

I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.

In fact, the most important reforms are those needed, without new laws, at various levels of Government, in work practices and procedures.

Opus Dei is an efficient machine run to achieve world power.

The problem with me is I read everything, but it's only the bad stuff that stays with me. It's weird, you only need to be told something once and it stays with you.

A good leader leads from the front. Don't get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.

Hey! Shouts Camel. There ain't no woman in the world worth two bottles of whiskey!

Composition gives proper meaning to the natural streams of sound that penetrate the world.

I'll tell you what I was like as a child. I was a good person. I was high-spirited but I was a big reader.
