You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.

It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.

I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.

People just want to watch movies that are entertaining, it doesn't matter what genre it is.

Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.

Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.

I'm not a member of a minority but I can empathize with what's going on.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.

You can't please everyone... If you make a good movie, that's all that matters.

I think it's easier to make a film with 200 million dollars than 960 grand.

Failure is a fuel for excuses.

Doing his utmost, deploying all his energy, a young man setting out from zero can wind up after ten years somewhere below where he started.

I wish i were a little girl again, because skinned knees are easier to fix than broken heart.

If there ever was a militant religion, it was that of early New England.

The focus should not be on talking. Talk is cheap. It must be on action.

I will always come with something that's aesthetically pleasing.

States with high and rising tax burdens are more likely to suffer economic decline; those with low and falling tax burdens are more likely to enjoy strong economic growth.

In 1983, NASA invited Canada to fly three payload specialists, in part because we had contributed the robotic arm that is used on the shuttle.

I find a lot of comfort and peace just being outdoors. Whether on a beach or on a path near our house, I would walk for an hour or two, just alone with my own head to think things through.

I feel that there is no such thing as ultimate forgetting; traces once impressed upon the memory are indestructible.
