We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'

By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation's history the President's policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future.

Pearl Harbor caused our Nation to wholeheartedly commit to winning World War II changing the course of our Nation's history and the world's future.

For the first time in the history of mankind one generation literally has the power to destroy the past the present and the future the power to bring time to an end.

What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

History is a relentless master. It has no present only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

I love Mikhail Bulgakov. He is very original and takes the story to unexpected places. I didn't realise political writing could be so funny.

It's a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior.

Strange questions are the more interesting ones. Children by and large don't try to trip you up... they want to find out how you do this funny thing that you do... if they've loved a story they love to know how it started.
