People are willing to throw our civilization under the bus to discredit the existing system, without any proposed solution to the problems that they're willing to pointing at.

The success of the second 'Austin Powers' caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better.

I figure if it's turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it's hard to really picture the DVD version when I'm in production.

I'm not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director's cut of these things. So far they've turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.

I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience.

I think we'll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.

I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.

The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD.

We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.

I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.

When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.

Never underestimate the power of Faith because when nothing seems possible, Faith makes it possible.

Authorship of anything apart from God is nothing more than a tragedy in the making.

My mom was proud but very hands off. She didn't really know enough about the model industry, and she didn't have the time to stop her life to go chaperone me. I think she trusted me.

You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.

You young men of the priesthood, resolve to live the way you should. Don't be caught up in some of the silly things that are going on in the world, but bear in mind what has been given to you.

Mothers are the pivot on which the family spins, Mothers are the pivot on which the world spins.

I think when you're making an album, as the songs are piling up, one of the good things about it is that you will often write the song that you need.

I had wrung impressionism dry and I finally came to the conclusion that I know neither how to paint nor how to draw.

You can be happy, or you can be right. If you want to be part of a couple and win every argument, you're in trouble.

When I made my first album, there was no indication that anybody other than my parents were going to buy it.
