I think that you make the best choice with the information that you have before you at that given time.

You can't do psychological thrillers. There's no audience. I've heard this. I've heard this from studios.

I think American cinema, particularly, has become so disposable. It's not even cinema, It's just moviemaking.

The films that have influenced me and the films that have motivated me and inspired me were films that resonated, films that made me think after I saw them.

I don't see me doing $100 million films because $100 million films, the very nature of them, you need to offend as few people as possible just to make your money back.

To achieve all that is possible, we must attempt the impossible. To be all we can be, we must dream of being more.

No great marketing decisions have ever been made on qualitative data

Here, no mercy is shown. One hates one's fellow man to the glory of God.

If I was made of chocolate I would melt myself in a car to ruin the interior.

God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.
