I do want to direct a movie from horseback one day.

There's nothing better than finishing something and looking at it. Whether it be a script or a movie, it's this complete little thing that now exists and is hopefully immortal.

It's an important part of being a member of society to know what's happening in the world and to know where you fall in it and what you can do about it.

When you know you have a certain amount of work to finish, you just don't allow yourself to get sick again.

I've been wanting to make a movie about the war in Sierra Leone, specifically, for more than 15 years.

Collaboration sometimes causes conflict, and sometimes it's easy, but the bringing together of great minds only adds.

If you really want to tell someone you love them, you don't just go and blurt it out. There's a dance. And your movie does that.

You only have so much time in life so everything you do needs to mean something to you.

You're always against the clock. But really just fighting for quality.

The apartments are made for eels.

I don't really put trophies out. I don't keep trophies around my apartment.

That's friendship, each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of the other.

I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.

Sometimes you can do things for others that you can't do for yourself.

Revising a screenplay is much more frustrating than revising a song because you have to read through the entire work again while you are changing stuff. It is a lot easier to edit a song.

PURPOSE is spirit seeking expression.

Liberals say that we are secular country with a majority of Christians, absolutely.

The elective franchise, if guarded as the ark of our safety, will peaceably dissipate all combinations to subvert a Constitution, dictated by the wisdom, and resting on the will of the people.

Fascism is capitalism in decay.
