I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.

Movies such as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' in 1939 to 'Dave' in 1993 portray Washington leaders as the ultimate Everymen - decent people just like you and me only thrust onto greatness.

The movies I made early on may not have been great but they were all commercially successful.

Any time you stop looking at evil as a black and white thing it's helpful. So the fact that there won't be any obligatory Islamic terrorist stereotypes in movies any more that'd be helpful.

People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

It can have an enormous effect because big budget movies can have big budget perks and small budget movies have no perks but what is the driving force of course is the script and your part in it.

Most of the time it's the role. Sometimes it's the story and sometimes it just the paycheck. It's the little movies that come out as stories or the fact that I have work to go out you know what I'm saying you can only be out so long without work you start getting antsy.

When I got depressed I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.

I've choreographed all of my movies.

I really like children to watch my movies.
