One day there'll be no need for me. I'm actually hoping to put myself out of business.

I want Americans to realize that we are the owners of this country, and that one person can make a difference.

I'm used to my films having little effect on making the world a better place.

Ask anyone on Social Security if their check comes on time every month. Like clockwork. And it comes through the so-called dilapidated U.S. mail. My dad's check literally will come on the same day every month. The government has been quite good and efficient at creating a number of systems.

15 of the 19 [September 11th] hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

I think if people who are attacking me or against me, if they would just watch one of my films, they would - they may not agree with me politically on all the things I'm saying. But they will know at the end of the film that I love this country and that I have a heart. And they'll have a good laugh throughout the film.

As far as what I do love, I love birds; I love lavender.
