People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
Billions of people don't practice a religion at all.
A lot of making a movie is the comfort level of the people. It's just feeling open. We need to get along. We have to know something about each other.
I'm rarely in a situation where, if you have a good idea, it's not embraced. That's stupid. And I don't work with stupid people.
People are expecting me to be a certain way all the time. It's not like if I come in here with a totally different personality and right before the camera starts they see this new character. It confuses everything. Life has a consensus reality to it and if you use that to your advantage it makes it much easier.
If people lose their land, they have nothing. You lose your land - you lose your culture, you lose self.
America has never paid any attention to other people, so it's absurd for Bush to say that it's all in the best interests of the Iraqi people.
Why is it when we have 10 million people in this country who say 'No', we still have a president who says 'Yes.' In a democracy, something's wrong here.
People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
I think people do want to relate their entertainment to what's going on in their lives. Not everything.
I honestly do not think about celebrity or image or sexual expectations on me. It only comes up when people have a list of questions. But what I am told is that there is a quality that I have onscreen, where it's a little bit of everything.
I haven't worked with people who are jealous or competitive. That's a particularly deadly attitude to have when you're working on a film.
If the United States marches into Iraq without the backing of the United Nations, that will be done entirely without the backing of the American people.
