I totally have no love for that whole romance for that Antebellum time period.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my fingers upon thee!

If you want to make a movie, make it. Don't wait for a grant, don't wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it.

Sometimes and in particular dealing with a dictator, the only chance of peace is a readiness for war.

Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.

I've never actually been a collector. I like the learning-curve, but I buy things, sell them to finance other things.
