You don't want to be starting a film not knowing what you want to do.

There's nothing like sitting back and talking to your cows.

I'd move to Los Angeles if New Zealand and Australia were swallowed up by a tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in England and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack.

My children have never watched any of my films. Charlie knows that daddy makes movies, but he says they are not good enough for him to watch.

People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused.

I never actually expected success, but it doesn't surprise me when it comes because I know how much work I put into what I do.

In tyranny lies only failure. Empower every man and you will gain strength.
