Where I think the most work needs to be done is behind the camera, not in front of it.

We do what we have to so we can do what we want to.

I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.

People tend to relax when they're off camera. That's when they should be working the hardest.

The poorest people are the sweetest people.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.

In fact, someone was telling me that Gladiator was the one film where Ridley Scott didn't take a producer's credit. And it won. But this guy changed the industry twice; with Aliens which was a whole new way of looking at things and Blade Runner that was also a whole new way of looking at things.
