Would it be nice to win a film award one day? Yes. But the critics are going to have to wait till I'm ready. Right now, my gift is making big movies that audiences want to see.

When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.

There's no difference between a tacky Jew from Miami and a rap star. They both want the Cadillac and the Rolex with the diamonds.

I fear God and respect God and love God.

When you're fearless, you take more risks because you're less conscious of failure or what can go wrong.

'Vacation' means titillating my taste buds.

Less money sometimes allows you to be more creative.

I would love a robot butler.

I don't have any regrets.

I’m a hypochondriac. Before I go all the way, I send the girl to the doctor and check them for everything. My doctor has a test to tell if you’re going to catch something in the future even.

I learn from every movie I do because on every movie, I have a different experience.

Try to turn as many soft, aspirational goals as possible into success criteria, and make them specific enough that you can actually tell whether or not you've met them.

Goals and dreams are not purposed to please others. I'd rather be the jester who adds value to those around me than a King with no vision or intention of making a difference.

The mind is deeper than the horizon, bigger than the universe, and more mysterious than space.

A woman sitting by herself is not waiting for you.

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin or when he sees silver he looks for the cloud it lines. A wise happy person does the exact opposite.

My commitment to the Olympics is not a political commitment. It's not a commitment to any particular social system or cultural idea. It is a commitment to sport.

It's impossible to get better and look good at the same time.

A new principle is an inexhaustible source of new views.

Every crucial experience can be regarded as a setback - or a start of a new kind of development. [You have the responsibility to decide if you will see it as a bad setback or good start!]

The stronger the imagination, the less imaginary the results.
