- It takes an element of fantasy to communicate the depth of human experience, and the scope of our potential.
- Every great collaborative work was produced by a team of talented people, united by a common intent.
- How can storytellers inspire people without fantasy? How is that inspiration supposed to help anyone if storytellers keep treating fantasy as if it were myth?
- Why are people like us driven to make art? Honestly, it's that we don't know any better.
- Here's what really gets me about the notion that money and creativity are mutually exclusive forces: If my actors and production personnel are attracted to the financial stability I seek to provide them with, do they seek any truth in our work together? Frankly, I find the implication that they don't offensive - not just on my own behalf, but even more importantly because of what's implied about THEM. Those people are my family, and their creative integrity and passion is the most reliable, trustworthy, beautiful thing in my entire life.
- Whatever man you know me as, that's the man you inspire me to be.
- All the great artists were martyrs.
- Producing sucks, nobody wants to do it, and as soon as people realize you can...
- This is one of the youngest industries in the world! To think that anyone has this business down to a science is pure foolishness.
- Breaking in means helping people on their terms, so they'll trust you when it comes to terms of your own.
- Everyone wants to be in film, and nobody wants the risk associated with a creative career. Creativity and security, in the end, are mutually exclusive. That's why Hollywood is in the mess that it's in today.
- Ideas are only as good as their execution.
- Leadership isn't something leaders ask for. It's something leaders give.
- Quiet and passive are not the same thing.
- Narmar Hannah is the most gifted straight-man I have ever met.
- Rest is part of progress.
- There are some actors you wish you could cast in everything.
- In my experience, Hollywood is a town that gives it's good graces to the successful entrepreneur.
- With the right content and the right business model, a blockbuster can come from any budget range.
- Success isn't about praying for rain. Success is about collecting dewdrops and working from there.
- Good leaders know the difference between bravado and authority.
- Sabotage always lurks in the shadows of entitlement.
- I prefer to be on the winning side of foolishness. If I'm going to be a moron, I'm gonna be the moron who wins!
- When I write an action sequence, the scale of that sequence is limited by how much it's going to teach me about the characters.
- I really need that element of science fiction, fantasy, or paranormal activity. That's what keeps me guessing about what's just around the corner. Once you sense that the world you're seeing is different from the world we know, all bets are off.
- Sam Bailey is the story of a man who has survived for almost 600 years, and who finally learns how to live.
- I've finally decided to quit my personal life altogether.
- Great actors are the foundation.
- Greatness will always be challenged. That's how we know it for what it is.
- The only things that mean squat in acting are great performances and decades of experience. And yes, the one begets the other.
- In art, you must never make the convenient choice. Convenient choices destroy even the greatest story. This is what so many businesspeople fail to understand about filmmaking.
- Great ideas don't sell tickets. All they do is make more work. That work, when it is as great as the idea, sells tickets.
- A great actor is a connoisseur of trouble.
- When things are at their worst, there is still a story to be told.

- It is one thing to be a realist. It is another to reject inspiration!
- Writing is the only cure for lonesomeness I know.
- Entitlement and Los Angeles had babies. Lots and lots of babies.
