Football is mesmerizing, because it's a figurative war. You go in one direction till you get there, but you get there as a team, not as an individual. Players bond whether they're black or white, much as soldiers do.

If you make the movie from your heart and it stands over time, that's what matters to me.

The first casualty of war is innocence.

I didn't like my classmates at Yale. George W.Bush was in my class. I didn't know it then.

I might as well be myself. Everyone else is taken.

With television, the image has been degenerated, no question. With the internet, commercials... people are much too cynical about image. It's stale. And all over the world, not just America.

People should really horde their Blu-rays like old comic books and baseball cards. Because they're really beautiful, and will be worth something if you like movies as I do.
