I always value people's opinions. I think a lot of people are really smart people, and when people say something, they do it for a reason.

There are a lot of movies with vampires and monsters and super-great effects, but if there's no humor or human relations, I don't think it's ever worth seeing.

There’s nothing like a good ol’ film light in a fogged up studio.

I really do appreciate the awareness and the hype that the fans are creating. I, myself, have become totally addicted to checking out the fan art.

There's no great movie where you haven't been emotionally connected to the main character.

When enough people agree on something, I'd be an idiot, if I didn't listen.

I've never made any choice or done anything that wasn't what I think it should be. I've never compromised, but I do listen.

Letters orchestrated into a song of words create the symphony of a novel.

The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of room, not try to be or do anything whatever.

I'm a legend in this sport. If you don't believe me, ask me

The present is the only thing that has no end.

Well, I think both Russia and China have a very strong aversion to interference in internal affairs.

Nor do they trust their tongue alone, but speak a language of their own; can read a nod, a shrug, a look, far better than a printed book; convey a libel in a frown, and wink a reputation down.

I am very confident that we will be able to convince all the stakeholders - the shareholders, the governments and the employees, that this is in their best interests.

Sometimes I don't want to talk about it. Not to anyone. No one. No one at all. I just want to think about it on my own. Because it is mine. And no one else's.

Because it is a 'use it or lose it' brain, when we develop a map area [in the brain], we long to keep it activated. Just as our muscles become impatient for exercise if we've been sitting all day.

I kind of worry about that a little bit - we lost our film culture for 30 years because the Americans came in and bought up all the cinema chains and wouldn't show any Australian films.
