I wanted to get far away from those who believed in cruelty, so then I went to France, a land of true freedom, democracy, equality and fraternity.
My race and sex had a great deal more to do with what people believed I could do than with what I actually could do.
I have always believed that there is nothing greater than a life in rock n' roll - it has to be good rock n' roll - and I still think it is true.
I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell.
I firmly believe that any good journalist must essentially be temperamentally an outsider. I don't think full sense of belonging and security is conducive to creativity.
I can't actually believe how good 'The Sopranos' is. I genuinely am dumbfounded by it. It's like when you realize how good The Beatles are, and you think, 'How did they do that?'
I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.

I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.
To suggest that God specifically created a worm to torture small African children is blasphemy as far as I can see. The Archbishop of Canterbury doesn't believe that.
I guess any time you believe in God you've got to be considered a spiritual person. That would make me a spiritual person. But I don't really know what that means.
I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.

If, as I have reason to believe, I have disintegrated the nucleus of the atom, this is of greater significance than the war. [ .]
I am not somebody who believes everyone is equally talented; talent remains unequally distributed.
I am a firm believer that if you score one goal the other team have to score two to win.
But i think it would drive me more crazy to just go do a movie that I didn't believe in, you know?
