To me, I read good reviews in lots of papers and bad reviews in lots of papers.

I want a documentary to crest by being voted on by 6000 people who are in the business of telling stories.

I get very nervous when it's quiet, because I think it's dead. What I learned in the moment was to hold back a little before you talk.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

If every human being disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant, the earth would still keep spinning and the planet would develop new life forms.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.
