The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don't give the students an idea of what's happening.

And I always had this idea for making a movie about a femme fatale, because I like these characters. They're a lot of fun, they're sexy, they're manipulative, they're dangerous.

You know, I listen to contemporary music all the time

However, ironically, I was baptized Presbyterian, and went to a Quaker school for twelve years

However, I spent most of my time in a Quaker school.

The camera lies all the time; lies 24 times/second.

I'm always looking for a kind of new musical entity to sort of move into a motion picture venue

I sometimes go for the strongest, most vivid colour on the palette, which in the case of movies is violence.

It's always great to discover a new star of tomorrow

Life is a race for those who want success and journey for those who want to live their dreams.

The undead don’t care about careers. Vampires are all retirees.

Alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, may produce all the effects of drunkenness.

The proof of a man is the danger test, That shows him up at his worst or best.

People will buy the car just because it's a great car. We want them to think it's excellent value for money and then, oh yeah, it happens to be electric.

You see, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle, actually.

Hint: money flows into most funds after good performance, and goes out when bad performance follows.

The less people know about me in reality, the more they can accept of me as a character.

Planting is one of my great amusements, and even of those things which can only be for posterity, for a Septuagenary has no right to count on any thing but annuals.

I hope to see Ruby help every programmer in the world to be productive, and to enjoy programming, and to be happy. That is the primary purpose of Ruby language.
