We think we know what's right. With excessive pride comes blindness.

This is our fault. My fault as much as the next man's, because even if I was against the war, I didn't do enough to stop it.

As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.

We give you characters we'd feel very comfortable judging, and then go: 'Oh yeah? Watch this'.

I just want to thank people who take big risks in their daily lives when there aren't cameras rolling. I want to dedicate this award to people who stand up for peace and against injustice and intolerance.

You don't do pictures because the audience is ready for them. You do them because there's something gnawing at you, something inside.

A creative person has to believe in the unseen and the untouched.
