For a long time, there was this rumor that I turned down doing 'Austin Powers,' which is not true. While they did send me the script, I don't think I was ever a serious consideration to direct it. I'm sure they probably sent it to 20 others as well.
Dracula: Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds... true love?
Doc Ostrow: The total potential here must be nothing less than astronomical. Dr. Edward Morbius: Nothing less. The number 10 raised almost literally to the power of infinity.
[Kay is threatening to take the children away] Michael: Don't you know that I would use all of my power to prevent something like that from happening?
[delivering a message from Michael Corleone to Don Lucchesi] Calo: Power wears out those who do not have it. [stabs him]
Professor Severus Snape: [to Voldemort] There is no wand more powerful. It answers to you, and to you only.
Gandalf: [to Saruman] There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.
Mud: There are fierce powers at work in the world, boys. Good, evil, poor luck, best luck. As men, we've got to take advantage where we can.
Suzy: These are my books. I like stories with magic powers in them. Either in kingdoms on Earth or on foreign planets. Usually I prefer a girl hero, but not always.
Whitey Powers: The girl just wants to bed you; she don't wanna wed you. You don't even blink? She wants to worship at the temple of Sean Devine.
Lorenzo St. DuBois: I would like to sing this song, it's about love, and hate. Psychedelically speaking I am talking about the power.
Maj. Eaton: [sees a picture of the Ark with rays of power coming out of it] Good God! Brody: Yes, that's what the Hebrews thought.
Hidetora: The Great Lord goes nowhere alone. Jiro: You renounced your power. You have no need of an escort. Hidetora: Only the birds and the beasts live in solitude.
Ann Newton: You'd think Mama had never seen a phone. She makes no allowance for science. She thinks she has to cover the distance by sheer lung power.
Ben Thomas: [from trailer] It is within my power to drastically change his cirumstances, but I don't want to give that man a gift he doesn't deserve.
Obi-Wan: It's over Anakin, I have the high ground. Anakin Skywalker: You underestimate my power! Obi-Wan: Don't try it.
[Two stormtroopers are posted near the tractor beam power terminal] Stormtrooper: Do you know what's going on? Other stormtrooper: Maybe it's another drill.
V: ...A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world.
Willy Wonka: [revving the motor of the soft-drink powered Wonkamobile] Swifter than eagles! Stronger than lions! [the Wonkamobile spurts foam at him]
[from trailer] Logan: [to young Xavier] Use your power. Bring the X-Men together. Guide us, lead us...
Well, I think indigenous peoples have ways of living on the Earth that they've had forever. And they've been overrun by organized religion, which has had a lot of money and power.
