Failure is an option, fear is not.

The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make.

Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality.Don't put limitations on yourself.Others will do that for you.

Religions fulfill deep-seated psychological needs for people, and if you don't get it from a specific religious doctrine, you'll get it from the kind of films I like to make. A film like The Terminator is consciously meant to give a sense of empowerment to the individual.

A director's job is to make something happen and it doesn't happen by itself. So you wheedle, you cajole, you flatter people, you tell them what needs to be done. And if you don't bring a passion and an intensity to it, you shouldn't be doing it.

You're so stupid, Rose!

Go home, pick up your video camera, and make a film.
