I knew Danny DeVito and he knew me, so he wanted me to try Death to Smoochy. I loved that stuff and had a great time doing it.

As we say in the sewer, if you're not prepared to go all the way, don't put your boots on in the first place.

Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.

The deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away. It's more challenging to me, but it's also just interesting. Those are the things I like to watch. I like to watch the evolutions of something.

As we say in the sewer, time and tide wait for no man.

Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.

I'm pretty busy in my life and I'm very aware of what it takes to direct a movie. It takes a lot out of you it takes a lot out of the rest of your life, from other people in your life. I don't lie around hungering for that consumption very often.

I think technology is having a democratising effect on film.

I don't flatter myself - I'm not a scientist, I'm not a conservation expert.

Most of what I know about environmental conservation I learned from my father, who has been a leader within the movement for over 30 years.

You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.

Image
My greatest hope is that we transcend the most fearful thing, which is that we are rapidly degrading the ecological systems on this planet that support everything we are doing and all life on it.

When I think about directing a film, the thing that stops me short is wondering if I'm a natural at it the way I think you, and PTA, and Fincher are born directors. Maybe some people's talent is in understanding the ways that film communicates, without dialogue, without plot.

If two people are at completely different stages in their spiritual life, that can present a real problem.
Edward Norton
Image
I've observed over and over that people seem to get a much deeper sense of fulfillment out of something they've done as an act of service than out of the things they do for themselves.
Edward Norton
Image
The thing I'm absolutely convinced of, no matter how crazy - technological the world is getting, is that people feel more connected through the good works. Entertainment, and the sort of soporific effect it has on people and their stress, is one thing.

Young people know how to use these social networking tools, and they know how to use them effectively.

I always felt that acting was an escape, like having the secret key to every door and permission to go into any realm and soak it up. I enjoy that free pass.

To cite my own alma mater, it's shocking to me that Yale University can teach what it teaches at the Yale School of Environmental Studies and utterly fail to mirror those values in any way in its investment practices.

I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.

Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.
