I was fired from my own television show, CBS's Family Law. It was the second time this had happened in my career, the first being when I was fired from The Facts of Life.

Paul Haggis
I miss my mother very, very much.
Paul Haggis
Walk through Santa Monica and try to find somebody who knows a young man or woman who's in this war. Here, war is an intellectual concept. If you lose your son or daughter, it's no longer an intellectual matter.
Paul Haggis
As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.
Paul Haggis
I was in a cult for thirty-four years. Everyone else could see it. I don’t know why I couldn’t.
Paul Haggis
We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28 - no Q, no gadgets.
Paul Haggis
If you're in a relationship and you try to trust somebody who's completely untrustworthy, when trust is the basis of any relationship and everyone else says not to trust, is love transformative.
Paul Haggis
It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.
Paul Haggis
