Training Day was such a Hollywood movie; I didn't like it.

You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.

I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.

When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

I have all this time between projects, and I'm not so sure that's a healthy thing. It's scary, because at 36 I'm woefully unqualified for anything else.

You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

Plus d'un qui n'a pu liberer ses propres chaines a su pourtant en liberer son ami.

I MET MY SOUL, IT WAS WRITTEN IN A LANGUAGE KNOWN TO BE TONED FOR DARKNESS BUT LIGHT IN TRUTH

Who is this woman, and what has she done with my ever worrying mother?

You look invincible,' my mother said one night. I loved these times, when we seemed to feel the same thing. I turned to her, wrapped in my thin gown, and said: I am.

Government should be a model of inclusion.

The whole pot-to-alcohol thing is a huge issue with me, because I've grown to hate drunks so much, and like potheads.

As long as you exist, you are aware of the manifest universes through the senses, through feelings and through mind.

Berlin is a very edgy place, a very cosmopolitan place. It's a place where completely different ideas and cultures come together and clash in a very warm way. In a very warm-hearted way.

Being a woman is a very powerful thing, I think, and you don't want to abuse that.

And I don't watch cricket. How can you like a game that requires you to take four days off work to follow a Test?
