I'm like any other composer. If you give me five years to write a symphony, I'm still going to be asking for more time two days before it's due.

Give me any two pages of the Bible and I'll give you a picture.

Give me time and I'll give you a revolution.

Hollywood is a strange, strange thing. I feel like I've been invited to a very exclusive ball and I'm just trying to make nice with everybody and hope that if they kick me out they'll at least give me a ride home.

If I'm asking people to give me two hours of their time, it's because I really feel like they need to listen to what the writer is talking about.

I have a good idea every two years. Give me a topic, I will give you the idea!
