I love Hugh Jackman. Love Hugh Jackman. He's the coolest. He's one of the coolest actors I've ever worked with, and I'll do anything with him.

We don't live in the world of reality, we live in the world of how we perceive reality.

I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It's a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.

Perception has always interested me. The idea thatbehind every face, there are a thousand faces. Beneath the placidveneer of middle America, there lies terror.

This is a darker Lex too, because he's been in prison and he wants revenge. He's not playing around.

When you're dealing with shooting a lot of live action in 3D, you're committed to how much 3D you're giving the audience.

Size, perspective- large objects, when you make them too 3D, you dimensionalize them too much, they appear tiny, so you have to be careful about things like that.

The 3D, it changes the way you shoot in a way, especially when you're shooting live action 3D elements.

You win when you are able to convert that time into an investment, into seeds or fruits or products of cultivating your own land or products in other people’s lives.

I'm not against the corporations. They are our wealth. But they are getting too greedy. I don't want to do away with corporations. I want them to make our cars, however, not our laws.

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.

You can't get a job without experience and you can't get experience until you have a job. Once you solve that problem you are home free.

psychological growth is the great gift and inexorable fact of human life.

Raise the stakes! Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.

The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.

Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
