And as I've gotten older, I've had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things.

Eradicating a religion of kindness is, I think, a terrible thing for the Chinese to attempt.

It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
