I am a die-hard romantic at heart and love the idea of love. But, when it comes to love, I kinda believe in the old world charm of romance - where there's mystery and intrigue.
Hans Gruber: [Reading what McClane wrote on the dead terrorist's shirt] "Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho."
Joseph Takagi: You want money? What kind of terrorists are you? Hans Gruber: Who said we were terrorists?
John McClane: [while crawling through a narrow ventilation shaft] Now I know what a TV dinner feels like.
Theo: [laughing as a LAPD SWAT armored vehicle is hit with a missile] Oh my God, the quarterback is TOAST!
Hans Gruber: Now, you *can* break the code? Theo: You didn't bring me along for my charming personality.
Karl: [holding a gun to McClane's head, takes his radio] We are both professionals. This is personal. [smashes the radio]
Hans Gruber: If you'd listened to me, he would be neutralised already. Karl: I don't want neutral. I want dead.
Sergeant Al Powell: Hey Roy, how you feeling? John McClane: Pretty fuckin' unappreciated, Al.
File under "Hard Truths": the creative muse is fiction. If you sit around waiting for the right moment to create, you will die waiting.
John McClane: [to terrorists in a tunnel] Hi, fellas. Mickey O'Brien, aqueduct security. Hey, listen, we got a report of a guy coming through here with, uh, eight reindeer. [shoots the terrorists] John McClane: Yeah, they said he was a jolly, old, fa...

Die! Die! Die in this love! If you die in this love,Your soul will be renewed. Die! Die! Don’t fear the death of that which is known If you die to the temporal, You will become timeless.
I started out a die-hard New Yorker but really grew to love working in Los Angeles. Even though I originally wanted to do theater, TV presented more opportunities for me, which led me out west.
After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
The first movie I really clicked with was 'Die Hard' when I was 6 years old, which is crazy that I was watching it that young. That was the one that made me want to become an actor.
If I get even five per cent of my ideas out and documented before I die, I'll be lucky. I'm not in danger of running out of riffs or ideas anytime soon. They overwhelm me and it's hard to find time to deal with them.
