Half of them are suicides or accidents, Martha. Don't exaggerate.
In my career as a director, there's always been some point where you get halfway through it, or three-quarters, and you go: 'What is this thing all about, and why am I telling the story? Does anybody really care about seeing this?' At that time you have to say: 'OK, forget that and just go ahead.'
Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?
I was a fan of Hilary's from 'Boys Don't Cry' and I saw her in 'Insomnia,' where she was good, but she didn't have a very deep part.
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
I saw Sidney Lumet out there, who's 80, and I thought, 'I'm just a kid,'
I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.
I loved the fact that Obama is multi-racial. I thought that was terrific, as my wife is the same racial make-up.
I kind of make a film for myself to sort of express myself.
I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.
As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.
A war is a horrible thing, but it's also a unifier of countries.
A lot of dumb pictures have made a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they're going to be anything cinema students will revel over in the future.
My wife used to be an anchorwoman in Arizona, so she knew John McCain, and she liked him, and I kinda liked him.
