You don't pick black actors or black directors because they are black. You pick them because they are good. If you lend somebody 50 million dollars you want you're money back. You don't care if they are oppressed. You just want you're money back.

So the desire you have, that itch that you have to be whatever it is you want to be ... that itch, that desire for good is God’s proof to you sent already to indicate that it’s yours. You already have it. Claim it.

Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: My god is right, yours is wrong. Religion to me is the human condition. If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian. That to me is religion.

I think we're fascinated by gangsters and that whole lifestyle and crossing the line. We get sort of stuck in our normal lives, if you will, and you want to be bigger than life and I think people somehow live through these sorts of characters.

In fact, someone was telling me that Gladiator was the one film where Ridley Scott didn't take a producer's credit. And it won. But this guy changed the industry twice with Aliens which was a whole new way of looking at things and Blade Runner that was also a whole new way of looking at things.

Taking the money from drug operations and all that sort of stuff is something that goes past what most of us in society would expect a policeman should do. That temptation hits the police force at the same time as the temptation to take those drugs that are readily available hits the people on the streets.

The secret to a happy marriage? Do whatever your wife tells you. 'Yes, dear.' And breathe.

People have said to me for a long time, Man you're funny. I say, Well, I'm quick, but being funny on purpose, take after take - that's why I said for me it was new territory, and so by improvising something might come out that might be good. And it's film, so they can cut it if it isn't.

Years ago, even prior to 9/11, I did a movie called The Siege. I did a lot of research with the FBI and the CIA. And I was amazed at that time (I guess we might all know it now) how little information they shared with each other. So after that, I'm not surprised by anything.

When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.

[Having monologue] are talking to somebody even if it's just to yourself, convince yourself if that's what you're trying to do.

I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
