attractive-things order years
When you look at Earth from that one picture, the one from space, it's really a rather attractive thing. I have nothing against the planet per se. I root for the big comet or asteroid as a way of cleansing the planet. The comet or asteroid 65 million years ago is probably what gave us our opening to replace the reptiles. The greatest entertainment I have in my life is chronicling internally, not necessarily for the public, the slow dissolution of order.
being-yourself smart school
When you quit school at an early age, I think you have a lifelong need to show the world - and maybe yourself - that you're really smart after all.
depressing people culture
It's depressing to see blacks wanting to dive into the mainstream of American commercial life. They come from a magnificent African culture based on aesthetics, and they all want to become fort builders like the vicious people who originally enslaved them.
embodiment way apotheosis
Language is the most elementary aspect to our humanness, probably. In addition to that, it's the embodiment, it's the apotheosis of the human experience, it's the way we summarize ourselves.
motorcycle towns stopping
I enjoy going on motorcycle trips and stopping in small towns and enjoying drinks with the locals.
up-to-you want woody
I've worked with Woody Allen twice and he was like, "Whatever you want to change, it's up to you. If you want to change the words, make them your own."
pilots needs company
Life’s better with company. Everybody needs a co-pilot.
rehearsal process
The rehearsal process in general is about trusting one another.
tombstone oscars winner
Having 'Oscar winner' on your tombstone is a great thing.
flavor-of-the-month months flavor
I'm the flavor of the month.
weekend winning awards
I don't remember who wins awards [Oscars]. I've won a few but what I really remember are movies. I love films, so I'm not concerned about speculation about winning things because I really enjoy being in films that last longer than an opening weekend. That's my goal in life.
cocky thinking years
Look, it's very easy to sit here right now with some films in the bank that I like and think I have a shot and feel pretty cocky. But, you know, three years from now, I could very easily be saying, 'Paper or plastic?'
directors
The directors are always sharp. It's true.
suits liquid bats
I resolve not to drink liquids before donning the Bat-suit.
