I've always loved movies, since I was a little kid, but I never wanted to be part of that industry. It always seemed horrifying, the way films were made.

Someone once told me that movies are a universal passport. And its true, wherever you go.

I always have a backlog of like seven movies that I want to make.

Local casting is just something I love doing.

I don't watch trailers, I like to go into every movie fresh.

It is at Easter that Jesus is most human, and like all humans, he fails and is failed. His is not an all-powerful God, it is an all-vulnerable God.

Constantly choose rather to want less than to have more.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.

That is the joy of reading fiction: when all is said and done, the novel belongs to the reader and his or her imagination.

You're on your way, Jose!

This is not an age in which to be a soft Christian.

That's the imagination that happens in the theater. That imagination is translated in film by the film magicians and all the technology.

Who needs make-believe monsters when there are so many real ones.

What is reality? Is it not merely a term for the philosopher to conjure with, behind which he may craftily conceal his ignorance?
