I'm pretty opinionated sometimes although my political views change all the time, too. So I'm not very zealous.

The success of the second 'Austin Powers' caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better.

I figure if it's turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it's hard to really picture the DVD version when I'm in production.

I'm not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director's cut of these things. So far they've turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.

I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience.

I think we'll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.

I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.

The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD.

We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.

I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.

When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.

I can’t tell you what consciousness is, but I know I can only think when I am conscious.

Acquiring knowledge doesn't bring power into your life, until you apply what you have learned.

Luck enters into every contingency. You are a fool if you forget it-and a greater fool if you count upon it.

Some cats are blind and stone deafdeaf some. But ain't no cat wuz ever dumb.

There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.

A mother's love, in a degree, sanctifies the most worthless offspring.

These Negroes who go for integration and intermarriage are linking up with the very people who lynched their fathers, raped their mothers, and put their kid sisters in the kitchen to scrub floors.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the definition of a marriage as between one man and one woman.

Invention is almost the only literary labour which blindness cannot obstruct.

If you can visualize it, if you can dream it, there's some way to do it.
