I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.

No computer, no gadget, no trickery. I am an animal, it is a plant. I will beat the weed!

A foolish man... built his house upon the sand.

The law says you cannot touch, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house.

I am vain. I think vanity is a good thing. It's done more good things for me than it has not.

My experience in work, even going to work with Scorsese, is that people always think there's some magic trick. There's no magic trick. The people who are really good at what they do do simple things really, really well.

See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
