This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
First, I blow a hole in your face; then I go back inside, and sleep like a baby... I guarantee you.
They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
I try to stick to a vegan diet heavy on fruit and vegetables.
To me, life is like the back nine in golf. Sometimes you play better on the back nine. You may not be stronger, but hopefully you're wiser. And if you keep most of your marbles intact, you can add a note of wisdom to the coming generation.
If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.
I was a fan of Hilary's from 'Boys Don't Cry' and I saw her in 'Insomnia,' where she was good, but she didn't have a very deep part.

None of the pictures I take a risk in cost a lot, so it doesn't take much for them to turn a profit. We don't deal in big budgets. We know what we want and we shoot it and we don't waste anything. I never understand these films that cost twenty, thirty million dollars when they could be made for half that. Maybe it's because no one cares. We care.
Things always look different from higher up.
An awful lot of good movies have gone unrecognized, and an awful lot of bad movies have had tremendous recognition. As long as you keep that in mind, you are never really disappointed.
