Cinema never saved anyone's life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone's life. It is only an aspirin.

Live your life, experience something, and then you're going to have a lot of things to say. But if you hang around in Hollywood, then you're going to say the same thing as everyone else - nothing.

I never think about franchises, to be honest. I always just do the film.

I'm always attracted by people who are lost in their time. I think it helps us.

I wanted to prove that I could do something, so I made a short film. That was in fact my main concern, to be able to show that I could do one.

I wanted to do something that was entertaining - but with a catch.

The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.

'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award.

We have two hundred languages in Europe. Two hundred languages! Count them! I know you won't!

I don't think you can be a credible, modern candidate for president without making the environment a major part of your platform.

Maybe 80 percent of what we conceive to be a song idea or the meaning of a song is not exactly what the artist meant most of the time. It's not bad - people can take what they want from it.
