I've turned down lots and lots of work. Things that could have made me some money.

You have to keep surprising your audience.

I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes.

The only way you can stay on top is to remember to touch bottom and get back to basics.

Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

An action film can have too much action; picture an equaliser on a stereo, with all the knobs pegged at 10. It becomes a cacophony and is, ultimately, quite boring.

I love the idea of a super villain that doesn't wear a cape, that doesn't wear a super suit.

I have these guilty pleasures, these failed films that don't work at all, but I'll watch them if they're on. Like 'The Game'.

Once I started selling scripts for a great deal of money - action scripts, no less, which people tend to pooh-pooh anyway - then I started to get some backlash. Which I didn't mind.

I think it's very admirable, in a superhero movie, to be able to take a few risks.

I wrote all the time, but the idea of doing it professionally seemed like pie in the sky. Who gets paid to write? I grew up in Pittsburgh, so it wasn't really a notion that a lot of people pursue.

The rich people of this world fear only one thing: death

I'm always on the lookout for something good about people. Often months go by.

Hitler's movement is near to Mohammedanism.

New York, forever the port of em- and de-barkation en route to Adventure.

Try a hard problem. You may not solve it, but you will prove something else.

No one is moral among the god-controlled puppets of the _Iliad_. Good and evil do not exist.

Sometimes people just see the overall success and it overshadows our true love for music and how much we love to record. I love to record music and I love to see the reception of it even more!

I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses.

Education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of Nature.

There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing.
