I think people are frustrated in this society, where predators prey upon normal, law-abiding citizens, and you never see justice in the courtroom. In my films, the predators don't get away with it.

It doesn't work if the bad guys kill his mother's uncle's friend's neighbor's pet dog. You've got to make the stakes high.

The most important seed I can sow in this life is my children, and the love and knowledge that I can bestow upon them and the help I can give them.

I have made a lot of mistakes. But I've worked hard. I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.

You can take away the money and the fame. I don't look at myself as any of those things.
