You'd never have a motorcycle policeman out on the Indian reservation.

We hope to do the Spanish Tragedy based on the play by Thomas Kyd.

Because there is actually something very interesting in Goodfellas, how the style of the film changes as time goes by and based on the mental state of the protagonist.

Shakespeare, who is probably the greatest writer and poet of the English language, lived in a time that was politically very conservative and it's reflected in his writings.

That's my curse, I see the politics within these things and so I don't say yes to them.

So I had the worst experience at the very beginning, and things have been getting better since.

The greatest crime in a Shakespeare play is to murder the king.

I did not find my studies particularly enthralling.

Everybody gets a little dose of Shakespeare. He's the greatest playwright in the English language, but his politics are fairly square.

Sorry, but there is no pleasure in finding new ways of saying the same stuff about projects which tanked.

You'd never have a motorcycle policeman out on the Indian reservation.

I'd love to make another film in Mexico.

And Walker was made with a Mexican crew, although it was shot in Nicaragua.

I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.

The future is always a dystopia in movies.

I don't think about Hollywood at all.

One of my contemporaries, a colorless chap who worked much harder at his law studies, is now Prime Minister.

The way that a handful of corporations in Los Angeles dictate how our stories are told creates a real poverty of imagination and it's a big problem.

Visual representation of it is essential if we're to come to terms with what it is we've done.

Unfortunately my career began in Hollywood, doing a negative pickup for Universal pictures.

Justin Salinger showed up one day with a pink cowboy hat on and everyone else got really annoyed because somehow he'd managed to get the pink cowboy hat.

In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius.

The life of a repo man is always intense.

You can't change the system through violence.

It's always nice when the eccentrics show up.

No, I did a film called 'Death and the Compass' as well.

It's interesting actually, what's gone on with that footage, and also what happened with the footage from the war in Afghanistan, is that our news reporting is pretty much along the lines of pornography now.

And it says something about our level of disassociation, that we can provoke these wars abroad but we're not allowed to see people get killed as a result.

Yeah, I'd be happy to go back to Mexico or Japan to make another film.

Anti-Semitism has no historical, political and certainly no philosophical origins. Anti-Semitism is a disease.

Good leaders must first become good servants.

I am not a great fan of computers. I do watch videos and analyse which batsman is playing how. Batsmen can play different shots on different days. A batsman may not play cover drives well, but if he connects with two such shots, he starts playing the drive well on that day.

True icons are larger than life, unforgettable with an elegance that's mesmerizingly timeless.

As chefs, we cook to please people, to nourish people.

I've been a bit of an electronics enthusiast and maker for a long time. I actually started the forum called ModRetro. It's an electronics enthusiast community that focuses on modifying vintage game consoles, and it's actually one of the larger game console modification forums on the Internet.

I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.

I don't mind being called a puppet. But I'm the puppet of the people.

Appearance rules the world.

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.

A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.

Without the shepherd's dog, the whole of the open mountainous land in Scotland would not be worth a sixpence.

As for writing about temptation, there's no drama without temptation, and no novel without drama.

The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies for another to rise in its place.

Where did Keynes stand on overt fascism? From the scattered information now available, it should come as no surprise that Keynes was an enthusiastic advocate of the 'enterprising spirit' of Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder and leader of British fascism, in calling for a comprehensive 'national economic plan' in late 1930.

I probably prefer comedy. Why? I'm not sure. I feel like the energy of a comedy is a better fit for me. I try to be a happy guy! It seems that most of my life has the energy more for a comedy than for drama. I'm grateful to do both, but I would have to lean towards the comedy side of acting.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

I've always wanted to sing country music.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

We conservatives bemoan the decline in values that has besieged our society. Why then should we not abhor the lack of morality involved in discharging untested chemicals into the air ground and water to alter and harm to whatever degree human life and wildlife As a conservative I do abhor it.
