I've had the pleasure to work with a lot of very great actors. And they're too different to say who's the best.

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.

I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

I try to put in every one of my movies some sort of message. I don't want to overdo it, because I don't want people to get annoyed by it, but it's good to have a message.

Do not fear. Some things will never change.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do.

I think every good, entertaining movie should have a message. I really believe that, because if you do it without it, the film feels a little bit soulless.

Lead with honesty, total integrity, compassion, patience and tolerance — toward yourself!

Devil must really hate me a lot because I consistently refuse to give him an opportunity to win over my soul.

He who has great power should use it lightly.

Too much philosophy makes men mad.

Smart is knowing if you're dumb. Knowing when to shut up and to listen to people that are smarter than you.

I move around a lot. Ive lived in a ton of different places - and only for a month or two at a time. I have a deep, rabid curiosity, so I like having a gypsy life.

God does not ask for 'religious' art or 'Catholic' art. The art he wants for himself is Art, with all its teeth

In difficult times, we're not supposed to quit believing; we're not supposed to quit growing.

Past violence is detrimental to our present action, and it is not in the name of principles that we denounce it, but in the name of efficiency.
