I like to really respect the audience and let them come through on answers.
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.

Always write from your gut, no matter what the project is.
Paul Haggis
I miss my mother very, very much.

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.

You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.
Paul Haggis
You hear this story that we're all on the left, but when there's a demonstration, you count how many actors actually come out. If there's a half dozen, that would be a big day.
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
I optioned the magazine article. That was end of 2003. It was a time when the war was incredibly popular here and everyone was driving around with flags on their car, if you remember not too long ago.
Paul Haggis
It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.
Paul Haggis
The radical rightwing pegs Hollywood as a leftist town, which is completely wrong. There are a lot of actors, writers, and directors who talk a liberal agenda... but all the studio bosses, for as long as there have been studios, have all been as far rightwing as you can possibly imagine.
Paul Haggis
I’m a deeply broken person, and broken institutions fascinate me.
Paul Haggis
I like taking genres and subverting them. I did that with In the Valley of Elah. I said, Okay, this is just a murder mystery. Relax. And then, two thirds of the way through, I broke every convention of a murder mystery.
Paul Haggis
This is our fault. My fault as much as the next man's, because even if I was against the war, I didn't do enough to stop it.
