I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa, a big Hitchcock fan.

I have gone insane. I won't be talking with you for a while.

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.

The first time I saw 'Sunset Boulevard' I was probably eight or nine years old, and it really struck me how it's so simply put and elegant, yet there's so much going on.

I really believe that if you're going to bring a child into the world, it's your job to parent that world. Especially if it's just you; you don't pawn her off on somebody.

I may not be wealthy; I'm living from pay check to pay check, but I get to make movies, which is what I love to do.

When you love something, it never goes away.

For me, I was given a great gift by my father and my mother in that I was never told any idea was bad. I was told I could explore any thought as long as I wasn't hurting someone else.

Some people are just not going to like me and they're not going to like my work. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

My father is so jolly, and I live a really happy life. I think that's why all my interest in the darker things in films comes up: because I'm curious about things I don't live in.

Pressure is an emotional paralysis. It's hard enough to do the dishes when you're feeling pressured, let alone make a movie.

Divorce fear. Court courage. Pursue hope. Marry love.

Forever doesn't feel like eternity when you're by my side

Oh my God, you're such a guy!" "I'm glad you noticed." The glint in his dark eyes was purely wicked.

I have quite a decent constitution in spite of all my abuse of it and my advanced years. I'm still quite robust.

I've always loved being a student.

"War gives men a plain-and-simple something to do ... Women write diaries in the hope that their words will beckon fate." It's a romantic manifesto.

Pitching is pitching. I've been doing this since I was eight-years-old, playing in my backyard with my dad. The things that work in Double-A will also work in the majors.

I'm not great at fear. I made the least frightening vampire show ever on TV. I'm pretty much good at heroic narratives and making people laugh, and that's pretty much it.

Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it; and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.

Self-love is a big part of golf.
