We work in an environment where your options are to do, you know, Batman 10, so when you get to do a movie that's a really great film like this, people really step up to the plate and enjoy it.

The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.

The only reason people lock their car doors when Obama walks by is they are afraid he'll tax them to death...

I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure, a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody; so I would say, 'Just come on up.'

My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.

The whole world has gone back to something we are genetically engineered to do - communicating through symbols.

Do you think I want to be the one lone voice against the Hollywood liberal establishment? It's not going to do me any good.
