In movies, it's so easy to have this 'boom, ' to kill, and I think that's inhumane.

The most heroic thing you can do is tell someone that you love them.

Used properly, cinema is the coolest thing in the world.

Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.

What interests me about genre is that the public connects immediately with it, it has certain rules, certain codes the audience recognizes. I can use that to create something very big.

When someone is punched in the face, you find out what they are made of.

Cool? Am I cool? I don't know, but I hope my characters are cool, in the sense of iconic. That's my job, at its very essence.

I really believe the form of the film must be in the scenario; cinema is not just added value to the scripting. I believe in it as a totality.

For me, I'm happy to succeed on any network.

Of course as a small country you're not necessarily in the strongest negotiating position unless you're negotiating with other small countries.

My grandmother told me: 'Never be in debt to anyone or anything.' Which is probably why I've never been financially extravagant - I still go to Costco. I'm always conscious of living within my means.

Even at my lowest I was sittin on my high stool.

I don't sing in the shower at all, and I don't sing in the shower, either.

People should not be able to vote to take away the rights of others.

Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
