What you cut out becomes part of the story you tell.

The misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it.

If I kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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.

How do you know your Colossus is the genuine article in the first place? I read his mind. I matched his DNA. I smelled him. I also did that.

Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.

I have had a dream my whole life... and it was not this good.

Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.

There is always backlash. Everything gets backlash.

Anything can be good. Even Last Action Hero could've been good. There's an idea somewhere in almost any movie : if you can find something that you love, then you can do it. If you can't, it doesn't matter how skilful you are.

This is something that I do consider to be good advice: I took my first paycheck and I put it in the goddamn bank. Then I took my second paycheck and put it in the goddamn bank. I had seen the roller coaster of my father's career - top of the world, then unemployed - and I never wanted to take a job because I needed money.

My life has included a study of Shakespeare and to me it's very natural, but I know that it's not always accessible to other people.
