Quote

I'm a big believer in supporting the action on film with the appropriate music. It covers a multitude of sins. It's gotten me out of a lot of jams, over the years. So, music for me is a very big thing in films and I use it unashamedly.

While we're waiting for a cab I'll give you your lesson for today. Don't listen to what your teachers tell ya, you know. Don't pay attention. Just, just see what they look like and that's how you'll know what life is really gonna be like.

If it turns out that there is a God...the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.

As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
