Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary.
When you're making a film, you have an obligation to fill the frame with life.
You can't be a storyteller and a speechwriter at the same time.
When it comes to the iconic moments, you sort of have to take all of those things and distill them the same way the costumers do and everybod Distill them and then find your own. The most iconic moment in the movie is, assuming they do, when they assemble.
I've been to two festivals in my life, and I've never been to Toronto. I haven't really been making festival movies. This is new territory for me.
I'm a very gentle man, not unlike Gandhi.
I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'
The problem is I want to do everything. I really love all of it, and I love every aspect of movie-making and storytelling, and I love television, I love the Internet. I wish I had time to do absolutely everything.
I don't think I'm a celebrity. Maybe I'm a cult figure?
I don't have a particular ambition in any medium. I just want to keep telling stories. If somebody pays me, also good.
Doctor, I'm taking your sister under my protection. If any thing happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you I will get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.
The more power that we have, the less human we are.
I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.
I always watch what I say. I am what I say.
