I think thats what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have.

You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.

I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.

When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

I have all this time between projects, and I'm not so sure that's a healthy thing. It's scary, because at 36 I'm woefully unqualified for anything else.

You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

Barbarians are all alike... sit up half the night to discuss anything a Roman says.

God the first garden made, and the first city Cain.

Our strength is that we don't have any weaknesses. Our weakness is that we don't have any real strengths.

Think of all those ages through which men have had the courage to die, and then remember that we have actually fallen to talking about having the courage to live.

The thing about happiness, though, is that it never lasts.

Research and writing are lonely occupations. It is easy to become discouraged in solitary confinement.

Fit in where you don't: make your own space..be different..don't give in. Exist somewhere you're not suppose to, or where you don't want to. Be your own men; do what you want, and don't hurt anybdoy

Front end loading with appropriate resources provided time to reflect and produce needed changes and alignment around the C&Q approach.

One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.

Maybe I'll be like that man in "The Hanging Tree'. Still waiting for an answer.
