Filmmaking is about moments. In real life, things might take six months, a year, but [in filmmaking] you have to create the moment where it happened.

Sometimes you have to do the things that scare you and that are outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.

That's what you want: you want projects that you fall in love with. I don't think you pick your projects; you fall in love with them.

What scares me is not living up to be a good enough father to my son and letting down my family - not being there enough and not being able to give enough of yourself.

Making a movie is universal. Directing a movie is universal; it's a universal language.

I'm very tired, but this is what every filmmaker dreams about: that their $15 million, under-the-radar film is now being seen by so many people.

I'm such a romantic at heart.

The shortest distance between two people is a smile.

The journey may be more important than the destination.

Charity you can give even when you haven't got.

If you don't like Beyonce, then it's hard for me to trust you. It's like not liking world peace.

If we don't get the deal we want, we leave NAFTA and start over to get a much better, a much more fair deal because right now, we're a one-way highway into Mexico, a one-way highway .

It is more important that we should remember God than that we should breathe: indeed, if one may say so, we should do nothing else besides.

Tis midnight now. The bend and broken moon, Batter'd and black, as from a thousand battles, Hangs silent on the purple walls of Heaven.

Fear not lest precautions and protective contrivances diminish your pleasure: mystery only adds thereto.

God comes on his own terms. He comes when commands are revered, hearts are clean, and confession is made.
