I never said to myself, "I'm going to be the greatest." I just wanted to do my own thing..

Words, however, are things..

Most of us are better when things go better..

Nothing is menial where there is love..

It doesn't have to be like that but mostly it is..

I always say I make pictures rather than take pictures..

Anything that can be dreamed is true..

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!.

I'm a very conceptual writer..

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97..

I do keep pre-occupied..

I'm a happily declared chocoholic. I keep it everywhere, even my nightstand..

You can't say, "I'm gonna make a hit movie." You're as dead as you could be..

The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed..

There seemed nothing to do but live..

Someone recommended that I read the Bible, and it was then I discovered that I knew nothing about it..

We've got a lot of love here, and for me that's what family is all about..

You must not inflict life on someone who will be resented..

I never dreamed I would do Westerns..

Michelle Obama - they don't call her Mooch-elle for nothing..

I don’t approve of religion..
