See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.

When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope.

Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

Are you in my dream too?

There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water?

I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.

There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.

See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?

I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.

There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can't. What I can't take is when my older brother, who's everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don't ever want to see that look in your eyes again.

'The Exorcist' is the scariest movie ever made. It just felt dead-on real, like you were watching the existence of the devil.

'The Last Airbender' is genetically engineered for me. I love martial arts. I study it. The movie's based on a lot of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. I was raised Hindu.

Always in life bad times will lead to great times.

Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.

Being insecure - I'm a master, a virtuoso - they can be handing me the keys to the kingdom and all I can think is, I hope I don't drop the key.

For instance, 'The Sixth Sense' had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.

I don't like to chase an audience. You can smell when someone is chasing an audience and it's not good.

I don't want to pretend I'm any cooler or smarter than I am.

I have a naive outlook on life. That's who I am.

I have worked hard and learnt that I have to make a decision - whether I am going to conform and protect myself or not. I chose not to.

I love my stories being multi-layered, and coming at it from different angles, so that you don't understand the film's true emotional motivation until the very end.

I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention.

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them, anyway!

My secret to all casting, and specifically kids, is cast good human beings.

The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.

The thing that's protected me creatively is that the movies have made profits.

When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

When you say 'fear of the unknown', that is the definition of fear; fear is the unknown, fear is what you do not know, and it's genetically within us so that we feel safe. We feel scared of the woods because we're not familiar with it, and that keeps you safe.

Filmmakers have to find the right materials to match their voice.

Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

To expect the world to receive a new truth, or even an old truth, without challenging it, is to look for one of those miracles which do not occur.

We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts, our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day, how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day, and that's how we're raising our daughter.

The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety.

How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.

Only he shakes the heavens and from its treasures takes our the winds. He joins the waters and the clouds and produces the rain. He does all those things. Only he realizes miracles permanently.

For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store.

There are no miracles in agricultural production.

Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as miracles. But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things subservient to the rule of law.

Thank God for little miracles, right?

It is almost impossible to exaggerate the proneness of the human mind to take miracles as evidence, and to seek for miracles as evidence.

America - it is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen all the time.

Good actresses can often accomplish miracles, and it is possible to be someone you've never been or will be. But in a sitcom, there's no time.

The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.

Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.

Hope... is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

The world presents enough problems if you believe it to be a world of law and order; do not add to them by believing it to be a world of miracles.
