Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.

It's said that I went into a rant, but I think it went on for about five words. I was drunk. It just turned into a big thing. I apologized profusely - not once but three times. So what's the problem? It's four years ago. Do I need to apologize again?

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live…at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing' to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take…OUR FREEDOM?!

I do what I can to sort of just stave off the clock - walk, swim, try and smoke an electric cigarette. I mean it's all bad for you. Life is bad. We're all dying. We're all in the process of oxidizing. Everyone of us is in the process of oxidizing so to sort of interrupt one aspect of that while everything else goes on, it's a freak show.

I got the acting bug back because I felt like all of a sudden maybe after all these years, maybe I might have something to offer again. I walked away from it after 'Signs' because I just felt I was a bit stale and it wasn't ringing my bells, so I focused on directing, writing and producing.

I'll get kicked around for saying it, but men and women are just different. They're not equal. The same way that you and I are not equal.

Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies.

I'm too rich to care what the critics say.

Nobody makes art for an elite, not if they're a real artist. You try and reach as many people as possible with whatever it is that you make. If a chef is making an omelette, he wants everyone to think that it tastes great because he did it. And if it does, then that's a success because everyone eats it.

People like scary stories. There's a fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird, subconscious way.

Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.

That's like asking you to pick your favorite child... I do however, think Bird on a Wire was one of my finest works. Oscar caliber.

The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was just direction traffic.
