I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

Everybody knows that the industrialized nations are the worst offenders.

I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

I thought it must be pure science fiction. But when I checked it out I found a lot of magazine articles that actually supported the theory behind the book which was incredible. That's when I decided to acquire the rights of the book and everything went from there.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.

When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do.

I think sport in general affects what people see in movies. I always try to explain to people in Hollywood that we have to make movies more like sport because, in sport, everything can happen and it's so much better than movies in some ways.

There's not really much destruction in New York besides the weather and it's a natural force so it's not like any destruction. But LA gets leveled (laughs). That's my comment to Hollywood.

It doesn't really matter if this movie's a success or not, because it's already out there.

There's a rule in Hollywood: stay away from water and stay away from snow, and I had both.

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.

The ESPYS are about appreciating moments in sports and not looking down on it because it's maybe not your favorite athlete or your favorite team.

In 1921, Harry Houdini started his own film company called - wait for it - the Houdini Picture Corporation.

My father was Bolivian, which makes me half-Bolivian. It's where I got some of my exotic features and certainly my skin tone.

It all felt like a terribly long time. It would have meant that I had to make five movies in five years and if you don't like the movies, too bad. I guess I just wanted my freedom, and I think my life has been incredibly enhanced as a result.

I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn't realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that... but that's what it did.

It is of great importance to note these meteors, even the small ones, as very little is yet known of them; and every observation, if carefully made, will some day help to show what they are.

Sometimes I'm at home and I remember I'm supposed to do 100 push-ups and I don't.

It sounds sweet when, after a long time, people talk good about you, especially when you have done a lot for the country and played with distinction. It's good; it's a good feeling.

The key to creating the mental space before responding is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way of being present: paying attention to and accepting what is happening in our lives. It helps us to be aware of and step away from our automatic and habitual reactions to our everyday experiences.

If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it.

Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.

I miss England. I miss the weather. I've spent moss of the last 25 years on tour. I'm ready to come home.

I am about as pro-Google a person as you're going to find in the media. I've had friends at all levels of the company since its founding, and still do now.

It takes the same effort to think small than to think big. But to think big frees you from the insignificant details.

My mother loves it when I talk about her. Half the time, I think she says things that she knows will go straight into the act.

I don't know why I ever come in here. The flies get the best of everything.

If people think of public art as something the public decides, it's impossible to make anything of substance.

Part of being a parent is rolling with the punches, so consider an unexpected pregnancy the universe's way of helping you to learn to do that.

You can't always change your situation, but you can always change your attitude.

Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.

I was going through a little bit of turbulence in my career. And so, it's funny how turbulence itself will make you hold onto something for security. And so the only thing I knew is trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own heart, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.

There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.

I was sued by a woman who claimed that she became pregnant because she watched me on television and I bent her contraceptive coil.

I don't write polite letters. I don't like to plea-bargain. I like to fight.
