I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.

I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me and I spent a year or a year and a half of my life working on it.

Through the media of films, books, music and the behavior of elders, young minds are excited and aroused into indulgences.

I've spent several years in Hollywood and I still think the movie heroes are in the audience.

There's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.

'I'll be back' always sounded a little girly to me.

What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall short thin or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.

If a movie is described as a romantic comedy you can usually find me next door playing pinball

Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.

I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.

Life is like arriving late for a movie having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends

There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.

It's something that occurs to me many times in my movies. They can often be treated comically or dramatically and I usually opt to treat them comically. But it occurred to me that you could get a story and you could fool around with it both ways.

I was striving to be the most muscular man and it got me into the movies. It got me everything that I have.

Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.

When I was a kid if a guy got killed in a western movie I always wondered who got his horse

When the movie comes out what anybody thinks of it doesn't really matter to me. I don't go to the wrap party. I don't go to the premiere.

The hardest that I've laughed at a movie was probably Team America. I laughed 'til I thought I was just gonna throw up. I almost had to turn it off.

I don't take the movies seriously and anyone who does is in for a headache.

A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
