I'm following a real event and real people.

I have always loved you.

I've been all over the world, and to be in Milan and see guys dressed as Jake and Elwood is amazing. They really have become a part of the culture.

I grew up thinking of snow as a luxury you visit.

But what's interesting is now - and not only in horror, but across the board - the studios basically only make B pictures with A budgets. That's the biggest difference.

You always want to do something different. I enjoy the process. I like making movies, and it's increasingly hard to find a movie you'd want to make.

Movies are brand new. Film is less than 150 years old. It's brand new, compared to any other art form, all of which are thousands of years old.

In my career, my movies tend to polarize critics.

Directors, like actors, get typecast.

The wonder of imagination is this: It has the power to light its own fire.

While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.

A humble man will always receive the best that others have to offer

Do not allow anyone to dim your light.

When the world question your abilities, respond with your actions.

When there is no thought, the kundalini rises. When you create a vacuum, something will be drawn into it. The less thought you have, the more kundalini will flow through the chakras, the shushumna.

John Cusack and I have been friends since childhood, and the fact that we're in so many films together is, no pun intended, serendipitous.

I'm tempted to do everything. And sometimes I think, "Oh, come on. You can stick that detail somewhere."

I think that a president needs to have a variety of views presented. But also, there has to be a team effort, because otherwise, I think it creates a dissonance and difficulty.

It's crazy when you see very little reflection between what's played on the radio and what people are talking about in the streets. It lets you know how far off we are from a real movement.

It's fun being on a TV show and not having to wear heels.

A fleet of the most powerful vessels would be of little use in war without a personnel at least as efficient as that of our possible enemies.
