The thing is, I think as a director or a writer or whatever, you have to have a vision. And you have to be maybe sometimes too early, somewhere.

A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.

I play PC and Xbox games at home, and I just got a PSP as a birthday present.

I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.

If people hate me they hate me.

Agents are still asking for millions of dollars for actors that don't sell one ticket.

Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.

Slater's a big star and he's been in the business a long time. He's always in a good mood and easygoing but he takes his character very seriously.

I think video games are a great kind of entertainment. They have replaced a lot of games people normally play with their friends and neighbours, like Monopoly.

Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.

Now while the German money is over for Hollywood, I still have $80 million to make movies, and we will have two things coming up: less major movies and the price for actors will go down.

And now I can’t breathe for wanting you. I woke up, and your eyes were on fire. You haven’t looked at me like that in years. All need. All want.

Faith is like electricity. You can't see it but you can see the light.

It feels like I'm babysitting in the Twilight Zone. I keep waiting for the parents to show up because we are out of chips and diet cokes.

There's nothing better than an actor who is really, really hungry to show everything they've got.

I'm not a big Austen reader. I wouldn't say I dislike her, but if I had to choose between her and Eliot to bring to a desert island, it would definitely be Eliot.

Anyone who's making a huge impact or speaking out about what they believe in or who's brave enough to be themselves is a superhero to me.

This is the process of mental analysis, sifting through the selves, sifting through your thoughts, practicing mindfulness, learning to control thought.

There is harmony in the tension of opposites, as in the case of the bow and lyre.

Wait long enough and you reap what you sow. That hold for men. That hold for towns. That hold for a whole country.

In art, interest must be centred on the principal theme.
