You can't say, "I'm gonna make a hit movie." You're as dead as you could be.

No issue is more compelling than the air we breathe, be it hot or cold, be it hawk or human.

I love discourse. I'm dying to have my mind changed. I'm probably the only liberal who read Treason, by Ann Coulter. I want to know, you understand? I like listening to everybody. This to me is the elixir of life.

As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.

A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.

I would never say, "I'm retired." I believe if I decided to just not work, in six months everybody would just forget whether you were working or not.

I've always had lots of friends who share my perspective - I guess you could say that I'm a guy who aggressively pursues his happiness.
