Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, they make bad movie after bad movie.

If I had the money, I would love to open up a movie theater that just played images and colors and beautiful music.

If you were my agent and I was making $10 million a movie and made four movies a year, that means you have a salary of $4 million.

I started as a director, but I was too bored with actors. I preferred to act.

There are some movies that I remember a couple of seconds and I want to carry those couple of seconds in my heart forever, or wherever it is, and that's worth it.
