Actually, when I did "10,000 B.C.," in the middle of production, I wanted to quit my job, because everything went wrong.

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.

I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

I try to put in every one of my movies some sort of message. I don't want to overdo it, because I don't want people to get annoyed by it, but it's good to have a message.

Do not fear. Some things will never change.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do.

When you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children.

One scientist had discussions about love and compassion. Usually, he felt irritation. After our meeting, for some months, anger never come.

Tens of millions of people have iPods, whereas eight years ago, they didn't know they were missing them.

I'm not trying to convey a message, I'm just trying to tell a story.

Man is and remains an animal.Here a beast of prey, there a housepet, but always an animal.

Health care is the No. 1 concern of small businesses and the status quo is untenable.

He who matures early lives in anticipation.
