Many people out there don't have a choice in choosing their friends and the people they're being manipulated by. Thank God, I have that choice. I can use my judgment and choose.
Many people out there don't have a choice, in choosing their friends and the people they're being manipulated by.
I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.
When you know people are really at peace with who they are and what they do, they collaborate and want to help you to improve.
People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.
The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.
I have this problem with violence. I've only done one movie in almost 20 years where I killed people. It's called Perdita Durango. It's a Spanish movie. I'm very proud of the movie, but I felt weird doing that.

You want to do your job well so that people in the future say, 'OK, he's not bad, let's hire him.'
Really, I don't see this heart-throb thing at all.
