All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.

I feel like Ive been engaged to the British Empire since 1980 and tonight you have given me the ring knighthood.

I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.

I don't do the running commentary as the movie's playing. I think you should be able to watch the movie without listening to me talk while the movies playing.

The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences. Now, through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.

Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips.

I think Lincoln had a unique parenting style. He let his kids run free and wild.
