The bottom line is to be in control of your own destiny.
James Woods
Filmmaking, like sex, isn't a polite enterprise. It involves a lot of mess and the bottom line is, if somebody ain't screaming, you're not doing your job.

I think the great power of Bette Davis was she always knew who she was. She had an obligation to herself and her audience. When you think of what she was compelled to do, the power she put on the screen, the fact that she took upon herself a much greater task.
James Woods
When I was in high school, we were all laboring under the illusion, or maybe it was a reality, that everyone in our school was a virgin.
James Woods
I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure, a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say, 'Just come on up.'

No matter what it is, if you get 10 people in the business talking about something, you get 10 different opinions, but you know, they're amazingly well informed.
James Woods
Golfers are genuinely courteous in a discourteous world. Show me a guest on The Jerry Springer Show who's a golfer.
James Woods
Look, just go sit at the card table with the rest of the kids and let the adults run the country.
James Woods
Achieving success as an actor has not been easy for me. My biggest, probably most irrational complaint has been that I've had to work harder for what I've gotten. I've seen other people with nepotism or wealth or cheesy good looks on their side who've had it easy...
James Woods
Do you think I want to be the one lone voice against the Hollywood liberal establishment? It's not going to do me any good.
James Woods
My second ex-wife was really kind of like a ship passing in the night. Only she turned out to be the Exxon Valdez.
James Woods
Give Bush 10 minutes before you hammer him. I think he's going to surprise people. He sounds simple and uncomplicated, but maybe that's what we need now. He's not as stupid as everyone thinks. I like the guy.
James Woods
Aficionado my ass...I just love to smoke cigars
James Woods
The press is like a big bass, you just stick a hook in their mouth and they'll take it.
James Woods
I was able to lean on people for favors and things to help out because their budget was so low. It was half of what John Travolta's perk package is on a film. Our whole budget was half of what his staff makes on a film.
James Woods
I'm a pretty quiet guy, but if people want to think of me as a lady killer, I guess that's good.
James Woods
Sometimes the way you respond to horrific, evil deeds is the measure of one's self as a man, as a nation, as people, as a community.
