You don't have to do a lot of quantity. It's the quality that counts.

I'm a classic movie person. I love action movies, too, but when I grew up I didn't have much action movies.

I'm keen on making English language movies. English is still the global language and we can't change that.

If you don't have a deal, you wind up losing money.

If you watch a Chinese movie with subtitles, it's just like watching an Arabic movie with Chinese subtitles. That explains why you can't take Chinese language movies and expect them to go abroad.

The moment you have subtitles and you have to speak Chinese, you already limit your global audience.

I am financing global pictures with global talents. Of course I will bring in the Chinese elements, yet you have to have global talents to create a global picture.

Hollywood is a symbol of global movies, it's not just American movies. It's become a platform and a melting pot; it's for all the talents and capital from all over the globe.

I don't believe Chinese movies should only have Chinese cast and talents shooting it with a Chinese story.

I always follow the rules. No fake co-productions. I know how to make content agreeable and acceptable.

Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them that be reserved till the end: and what shall they do that have been before me, or we that be now, or they that shall come after us?

Alas for the affairs of men! When they are fortunate you might compare them to a shadow; and if they are unfortunate, a wet sponge with one dash wipes the picture away.

It's a funny thing about me. I don't have any interest in food most of the time now, although when I was a kid I was always hungry

Law breaking, graffiti artist, dumb jock that I am, I'm pretty socially conscious.

The reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.

In a theater you can fool everyone past the tenth row if you're good, but on the screen you can't really fool anyone for a second.

If income tax is the price you have to pay to keep the government on its feet, alimony is the price we have to pay for sweeping a woman off hers.

Every end in history necessarily contains a new beginning.

If I had a chance with him, I missed it. No, I didn't miss it. I threw it away.

I don't want to pursue someone at all - I want someone to pursue me.
