Usually I say I have no imagination.

In Rio de Janeiro, every cop has to make a choice. He either turns dirty, keeps his mouth shut, or goes to war.

I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed.

We make violent cops, we make violent criminals, and no wonder we have shootouts in slums all of the time.

The relationship between fascism and robotics, for instance, it's very clear that it's going to become way more important as time goes by.

Either you look back and deal with your hypocrisy, or you dismiss it.

I think the media needs a little criticizing now, as it did in the '80s, don't you?

Television is so cool. Television is proving that we can be sophisticated and that people will watch, if it's good.

I don't actually like blocking actors. I prefer giving actors freedom. They don't have to step on a precise mark with me. Instead of giving marks to the actors I like to give marks to the camera.

As a filmmaker, I make the films that I love, that are in my heart. That's what I care about.

If you aren't willing to look foolish, you're foolish. And that's why so many people have never built an ark, killed a giant, or walked on water.

If you begin to live life looking for the God that is all around you every moment becomes a prayer.

The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs.

You want a better world...? Legalize pot right now. ...end the deficit? Legalize pot right now...biggest cash crop in America.

One of the big mistakes Republicans made with the Contract with America is that they tried to do too much too fast, and people revolted against it.

There is light in the world, and it is us!

I won't make a bucket list because I'm so afraid that I'll die and then people will find my bucket list and be, like, 'Oh, she didn't get to do that.'

What is it that every man seeks? To be secure, to be happy, to do what he pleases without restraint and without compulsion.

If your eyes weren't open, you wouldn't know the difference between dreaming and waking.

My greatest wish — other than salvation — was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One I could read again and again, with new eyes and a fresh understanding each time.
