Quote

My family means more to me than the artificial trappings of my career. If ever I had to choose between my career and my family, the wife and kids would definitely come out on top.

Women are just different. Their sensibilities are different.

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

An acid is like a woman: a good one will eat through your pants.

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

Time helps a lot. I found the fame thing really was a torment for a while. Then you learn to deal with it.

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.

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?

I don't care if I don't act anymore.

I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period.

Every time you go out there to do something, you wonder if you can do it. There's no assured success. There's no secret recipe for success. Every time you go out there, you go out there with the possibility of great failure.

I've got one of Darwin's books at home and some of that stuff is pretty damn funny. Some of his stuff is true, like that the giraffe has a long neck so it can reach the leaves. But I just don't think you can swallow the whole piece.

My whole approach to wardrobe is, throw it in a suitcase and make sure they don't press it, for Pete's sake, so I can try to display some rumpled charm. Actually, I'm just a pig. I've got coffee stains on my pants. I think they're coffee stains, anyway.

I am politically incorrect, that's true. Political correctness to me is just intellectual terrorism. I find that really scary, and I won't be intimidated into changing my mind. Everyone isn't going to love you all the time.

It's great that after 700 years William Wallace has finally had a proper burial. He did so much for the country. You should be proud of what you have achieved through devolution.

I was known for being a bit of a clown. I remember my dad got me aside and said, Just remember, everybody likes a clown, but nobody pays him. I've often been tempted to call him and say, Remember how you told me...? Yeah? Yes, they do.

There are certain things men will never understand about women. We'll never get it. And you're supposed to be nice to them. Because they can hurt you.

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.

Voting is a very scary arena to be in, but I do vote. I go in there and pull the lever. It's kind of like pulling the lever and watching the trap door fall out from beneath you. Why should we trust any of these people? None of them ever deliver on anything. It's always disappointing.

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

You know what happens when you don't take a risk? Nothing.
