I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary, I am the organizer, I am the maid, and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. It's those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling.

I am but an architectural composer.

Christopher Hitchens

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.

Doris Lessing

The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love 'Goodfellas' because it's a great movie - it's funny and there is action at perfect points. I just think Martin Scorsese makes everyone look really cool.

Booboo Stewart

The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture.--The Fruit Hunters

Getters don't get -- givers get.
