I was just glad to be going to work again.

When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

I just want to tell stories that have an impact on people. Somebody needs to have an impact because people are lost. People are really lost.

I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.

I have this very strange sensitive skin. If I put anything on it but this one product, it erupts into a rash.

I grew up in Europe, and I used to like those very slow-moving European films. I've been contaminated by the American TV culture, and I just want things to move faster now.

Everything I thought about acting and having a movie career has changed from what I thought when I started.

I've never had a manager, and I've had various agents, and, fortunately or unfortunately, I've been blessed.

I've never committed to a role without a script.

We cry to awake the spirituality of the soul.

Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!

Loud speech, profusion of words, and possessing skillfulness in expounding scriptures are merely for the enjoyment of the learned. They do not lead to liberation.

Successful cooperation in or by formal organizations is the abnormal, not the normal, condition.

The Cold War was a war, and we won it.

Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.

This belief in the necessity of English training has enslaved us. It has unfitted us for true national service.

I think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.

England, Australia, Israel, a few staunch, important allies internationally. But we have lost a lot of international support.

Reality is not what it used to be.
