I'm a yarn teller. My job is to engage you as much as I can and as often as I can.

I don't go to the cinema often anymore - I'd rather just pop in a disk and get the biggest monitor you've got, and if the quality is superb, I can watch a film, and if I don't like it I can pop it out.

I think there's nothing worse than inertia. You can be inert and study your navel, and gradually fall off the chair. I think the key is to keep flying.

I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.

I think one of the successes of Gladiator is how we manage to turn on a dime the character from one thing to another where you believe he is one thing and he is something very different.

How can you look at the galaxy and not feel insignificant?
