I think all Nazis didn't see themselves as bad people. I've never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic.

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.

I don't like to think that maybe I'm just getting old. I'm not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I'm more interested in people and characters.

Look, I'm just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda.

Betrayal... is my favorite subject.

I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.

Obviously, In The Heat Of The Night was a landmark movie because the timing was perfect. It was in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement.

The importance of knowing for certain that you have been saved cannot be understated. We do not know how many days, hours, or minutes God has granted us here to have an opportunity to make a choice.

...They are merely scars, not mortal wounds and you must use them to propel you forward.

Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.

Just the thought of you and all the universe conspires against me.

everyone tells you what's good for you. they don't want you to find your own answers. they want you to believe theirs.

'Sweet Valley High' is fantastic, fabulous, a little bit campy, and - dare I say it - cinematic.

I've actually found the image of Silicon Valley as a hotbed of money-grubbing tech people to be pretty false, but maybe that's because the people I hang out with are all really engineers.

Truth is simple, but Illusion makes it infinitely intricate. The person is rare who possesses an insatiable longing for Truth; the rest allow Illusion to bind them ever more and more.

Talk of fighting Tyson is a little premature. I'm an addict and an alcoholic

You are before being and not being, awake and dream take place in time. You have no time.
