It's very difficult to release an X-rated movie.

Our military thought that they couldn't get to Pearl Harbor, that it was too long a journey from Japan to get there, and they proved us wrong.

You have to start at the very bottom and you've got to do every job. I did that so I could understand what everybody does. I didn't become this huge producer overnight. It took many, many years.

I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.

We know as filmmakers where you draw the line.

If you have a crisis, whether on a ship or wherever, there are heroes who rise above it.

We want to create these dramatic situations, whether they are real or not, to entertain audiences.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

Be kind, be all sympathy, For each and every human beingIs forced to fight against himself.

Perception is reality.

In any case, it's the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves!

There is no higher value in our society than integrity.

Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single.

Apparently we love our own cell phones but we hate everyone else's.

That's the trouble with trying to influence an undecided voter. First you have to find one

Clever tyrants are never punished.
