I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films.
Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.
The silent film has a lot of meanings. The first part of the film is comic. It represents the burlesque feel of those silent films. But I think that the second part of the film is full of tenderness and emotion.
The Sixth Sense is not a good white film. Insomnia is not a good white film. They're just good films. So why we can't we have good films that happen to have black people, or Asian, or Latino, or any other minority group in them?
Let go of your past. Start making history!
Practical management of your time includes taking responsibility of your choices.
The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone; and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action.
I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it.
I would really like to do a straight action movie that's hardcore - heavy action, like 'The Expendables' or 'Fast Five.'
I think I have been stereotyped as an action director in Hollywood, so all I got were the action scripts.
There weren't a lot of action roles growing up - there were a few, maybe, like Wonder Woman, but then it wasn't real action.
An ethical action, like an unethical action, is usually analyzed by politicians purely in pragmatic terms.
Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves.
Exaggeration can lend action scenes more force, but I like to stick to more realistic figures: They help keep the cool in the action scenes, although they may be not as forceful as the exaggerated ones.
Our principles are the springs of our actions. Our actions, the springs of our happiness or misery. Too much care, therefore, cannot be taken in forming our principles.
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action.
I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.
I have a respect for the 3-D computer-generated action movies, but my first love is stuff like 'Lethal Weapon.'
As short as life is, your decisions and actions could still make it shorter. Always think about consequences before taking actions.
