[after watching The Bicycle Thief] Griffin Mill: Great movie, huh? So refreshing to see something like this after all these... cop movies and, you know, things we do. Maybe we'll do a remake of this!
Sabrina: [writing to her father] I have learned how to live, how to be IN the world and OF the world, and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life. Or from love, either.
Eve: [watches Bond shave] Cut-throat razor. How very traditional. James Bond: Well, I like to do some things the old-fashioned way. Eve: Sometimes the old ways are best.
[Gorobei is watching Heihachi, who is methodically splitting logs] Gorobei Katayama: How'd you like to kill thirty bandits? Heihachi Hayashida: [Spins around in surprise as his axe swings wide]
[watching a young woman get burned at the stake] Jöns: Who will take care care of that child? Is it the angels or God or Satan or the emptiness? The emptiness, Sire? Antonius Block: It can't be so!
Jake Hoyt: [after smoking angel dust] Who are you? Alonzo Harris: I'm the zig-zag man, who the fuck are you? Jake Hoyt: I'm a cop. Alonzo Harris: Watch out... don't shoot nobody.
Mattie Ross: [anxiously watching four men riding to kill Rooster Cogburn] Shoot them, Mr. Laboeuf! LaBoeuf: [aiming his rifle] Too far. Movin' too fast.
George Bennings: [Watching a video of the Norwegians] How much more of this crap is there? Dr. Copper: Well, nine hours, I'd say. George Bennings: We can't learn anything from this. Dr. Copper: Guess not.
[in ladies' room] Gail: I read it in Cosmopolitan. Lizzie: It's an interesting theory. Gail: Actually it's a nightmare. I've been desperate for a shag but watching him suffer was just too much fun!
Alabama: I'm gonna go jump in the tub and get all slippery and soapy and then hop in that waterbed and watch X-rated movies 'till you get your ass back in my lovn' arms.
Network Executive: For God's sake, Chris! The whole world is watching. We can't let him die in front of a live audience! Christof: He was born in front of a live audience.

I've been writing plays since the seventies and only came to moviemaking when I basically realized that I needed some money to pay the rent. I started to watch films with an eye to figuring out how to write them.
I'd like my grandkids to be able to watch PBS. But I'm not willing to borrow money from China, and make my kids have to pay the interest on that, and my grandkids, over generations, as opposed to saying to PBS, 'Look, you're going to have to raise mo...
I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they par...
During one new moon at perigee, I stood on high ground, watching salt ponds overflow, cover the beach, and meet the ocean. Because the moon was invisible, the water was black as it drowned the sand, and the event felt primal - which in fact it was, b...
