I wish I could have 25,000 years of my personal family history documented in a very powerful computer or a CD-ROM that I could just pop in and my computer would never crash.
If I could take something away from every film I make, it would be that there's something good about having confidence in yourself.
It's a departure for me, ... I can't walk through the airport in Singapore without a little kid hanging on my leg saying, 'George! George!'
They had a hard time miking me in my loin cloth . . . I mean, where were they gonna tape it?
I'm just glad that I have bragging rights to working with Bugs and Daffy.
Trying to maintain the energy that came from the cartoons, using that as inspiration, was the biggest challenge I've met so far.
As a young man I prayed for success. Now I just pray to be worthy of it.
I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.
In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass.
Most people go, I wish for world peace. But chaos has a place in balancing out the light and the dark in the world. I don't know if I would wish for world peace.
I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.
You can't see any movie nowadays really without it having some sort of CGI treatment, albeit whether it's a creature or an environment, something like that. To make a point, sort of poetically in that case, but clearly it was a drama and how do you approach it? Well, I think what you're supposed to do is what the text dictates. What you bring to it and everything you need to know should be there, and pay attention to your director.
I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.
