The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.

Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.

The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.

I think that people like the Howard Sterns, the Bill O'Reillys and to a lesser degree the bin Ladens of the world are making a horrible contribution.

Haiti, like any place, has its security problems; it has a great challenge in terms of establishing a kind of globally acceptable rule of law.

Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.

There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved.
