Not every movie, in my opinion, should be in 3D. There are a lot of stories I wouldn't shoot in 3D. But, you know, there are movies that are perfect in 3D.

There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.

When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.

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

Before statehood was achieved, Syria and Egypt had their tanks and military equipment lined up to invade Tel Aviv and destroy it; but the Israelis scrambled together an air force, some of it from old Second World War Messerschmidts, and the invasion was halted.

As a Jew I am aware of how important the existence of Israel is for the survival of us all. And because I am proud of being Jewish, I am worried by the growing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the world.

I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.
