Is this film more interesting than a documentary of the same actors having lunch?

In fact, Cannonball Run II. I used to pick that as the worst movie ever made.

That's probably when I get the most angry at American movies, when they just so cynically manipulate the audience without even trying to give a good story.

I'm not surprised that Spielberg was able to capture the heroism of Schindler; so many of his movies are about the better part of mankind.

The result is a picture that represents so much of what I want and rarely get from a movie - a couple of hours filled with characters who are as exciting as the people I know in real life.

There is a point when a personal opinion shades off into an error of fact.

Two things are not debatable: eroticism, and comedy. If you don't think it's sexy, or funny, there's no way I can change your mind.

John Goodman is more that just a big guy, he's a wonderful actor.

They know they got the TV ad, they know they got the name recognition, they know that they can do a tie in with McDonald's or some fast food outlet and the money is just gonna flow in.

A film that aims low should not be praised for hitting that target.

But you know, really, if you think about it Roger and I and all critics really have one absolute essential part of our credentials and that is that you believe that that is actually what we think.

God never ends anything on a negative

Many men spend their lives in gazing at their own shadows, and so dwindle away into shadows thereof.

The past and present are only our means; the future is always our end. Thus we never really live, but only hope to live.

My second passion besides fighting is traveling. So, for me to be able to go somewhere like the places I've been is just awesome.

No longer diverted by other emotions, I work the way a cow grazes.

I will not be governed by the tyranny of immediacy.

Tradition kills originality; you keep repeating the same things in tradition! Behave like the sky; always create new and different things; be original!

The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. I can't take quiet desperation!

My newspaper job … is my identity.
