If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.

I think if you want good things to happen for a country like Haiti, then you need to provide the circumstances where the Haitians can do that.

I am a Justin Timberlake fan.

On a movie, it's always better to stay invisible as much as you can to keep things calm. I like to whisper to my cameraman, I like to whisper to my actors, and whoever else I've gotten to whisper to.

There's a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged.

There is a kind of sense of truth and reconciliation that is non-formalized, but it's understood and accepted. Haitians are Haitians and there is an inherent loyalty that forgives an awful lot.

Sacrificing American soldiers or innocent civilians in an unprecedented preemptive attack on a separate sovereign nation may well prove itself a most temporary medicine.
