The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely, even when you are.

You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.

If things were easy to find, they wouldn’t be worth finding.

I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

Prior to Saving Private Ryan I never worked with men. I was always working with some babe, and it was always about falling in love, and it just got turned around. I'm not looking for any particular kind of story. I wait until it comes across my desk.

I would not want to live in a country that would have me as a leader in any sort of political bent.

Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.
