You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.

Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.

When I do a Western, I often wonder what I would have really done in that situation.

We all have that burning question about what happens if we lose somebody we love, especially if we lose them tragically. We wonder what fear was going on, we wonder if we could have reached out and touched them, held their hand, looked in their eyes, been there.

You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.

I will never forget what happened here tonight.people I went to school with will never forget.
