I think if there's a great depression there might be some hope.

My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada and stay Canadian bringing to Canada a part of its richness.

I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then y'know that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.

It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

If we are going to stay a great power and I hope and pray we will we need the truth. We need to know what is going right and we need to know what is going wrong. There is no greater time than now.

I never make a movie for awards consideration. I will use the hope of getting an Academy Award a) to honor the people who work so hard and also b) it's the greatest Good Housekeeping seal in the world. It's the greatest brand. It's as good as Louis Vuitton and Dior in the world of moviemaking. It's the Super Bowl.

As great scientists have said and as all children know it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope.

What I hope in my ideal world is that with each project I'll either get to work with a really great script that would force me to grow or work with a really great actor who will make me better.
