I will come out with my interpretation. If I'm wrong, fine. It will become part of the debris of history, part of the give and take.

The second [presidential] term changes, and I think that John F. Kennedy certainly ran on that and he knew that second term would give him oxygen, and he needed it. Unfortunately, he didn't get there.

I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.

The only home I had was with Warner Bros. during the '90s. I made four movies with them then. Natural Born Killers, JFK, Heaven and Earth. Any Given Sunday was the last. And that was the end of the Terry Semel/Bob Daly regime.

I've been to war, and it's not easy to kill. It's bloody and messy and totally horrifying, and the consequences are serious.

Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.

When I was a child, I'd see a movie, I took it for what it was, I enjoyed it. And if I believed it I would tend to be more interested in knowing more about it.
