My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?

Blade Runner was the godfather of all these fantastic movies that occur today. What's frustrating is that we're short of really great writing and great ideas. Blade Runner was full of them.

It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have [in aliens]. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.

In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

I think one of the successes of Gladiator is how we manage to turn on a dime the character from one thing to another where you believe he is one thing and he is something very different.

But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.

Once you crack the script, everything else follows.

Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.

Nowadays, everything's evolved into superheroes and it's boring. If I see one more superhero movie I'm going to shoot myself.

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

You can get what you want. You have to passionately seek the life you desire.

I'm not regimented. I don't diet, and I exercise the way I want to.

I think in black communities today we need to encourage a lot more cross racial organizing.

Never take more than your share - whether of the road in driving your car, of chairs on a boat or seats on a train, or food at the table.

No prince, no king, no president has ever lived a better life than I have!

When we score a sublime goal I'm as happy as anyone but you don't get to enjoy a game. You can't possibly. The game's too important to enjoy.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.

Animals give us their constant, unjaded faces, and we burden them with our bodies and civilized ordeals.

I don't need my players to like me. I need them to play for me

Brigands demand your money or your life; women require both.
