I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.

All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.

Out of the total of 11 movies, I got slammed.

We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.

The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.

We don't ever want IT to be the thing that holds GM back.

We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements.

GM is a highly collaborative organization; we rely on a whole tier of suppliers for everything that we do.

I have a short attention span.

I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.

Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because we're from North England.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.

Dad never understood why Ridley wanted to go to art school, and then I came along six years later and wanted to do the same thing.

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man. Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family. She ran the roost with a steel fist, but at the same time there was respect and love for her.

I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.

I'm a plagiarist - I always look back at other movies, and I steal, but I steal well, and I reinvent.

If you look at my body of work, there's always a dark side to my characters. They've always got a skeleton in the closet; they've always got a subtext.

Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family.

The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.

The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face, and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.

The true excitement comes from the actors - that gives you the true drama - and whatever I can do with the camera, that's icing on the cake.

We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.

What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.

Roosevelt's magic lay in one facet of his personality: He knew how to take the risk. No other man in public life I knew could so readily take the challenge of the new.

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

You have choices to make about what you do with the rest of your life.

From the standpoint of observation, then, we must regard it as a highly probable hypothesis that the beginnings of the mental life date from as far back as the beginnings of life at large.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

Any judge who allows an adulterer with a live-in girlfriend to terminate the life of his wife should be impeached.

I can assure you, public service is a stimulating, proud and lively enterprise. It is not just a way of life, it is a way to live fully.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.

Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.

Yes, I am Algerian of Moroccan origin through my parents, but all my life is Algeria. I was born there.

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.
