It is hard I submit to loathe bloodshed including war more than I do but it is still harder to exceed my loathing of the very nature of totalitarian states in which massacre is only an administrative detail.

I think the destructive vicious negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country harder to attract decent people to run for public office.

The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is the harder it is to get it financed. That's why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.

I hadn't made a big-budget film and in Hollywood there's a sort of man and boys situation. You're a man you make $80 million movies! As if it's harder to make an $80 million movie. Well I guess businesswise it is because you have more executives to argue with.

When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.

The harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.

What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news except to tell you what happened overnight and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life you know better education better jobs. It was probably harder much much harder for my parents. When you're a kid you can learn a language much more easily I learned English in less than a year.

My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.

I think like any marriage especially when you've had divorced parents like myself you want to try even harder to make it work.
