For some moments in life there are no words.

I think it's time to explore our relationship to the hereafter and the now and determine whether or not there is a part mankind can play at this time to forestall the nuclear bubble breaking and the world coming to an end.

Teenagers have no advocate. I think any other minority so maligned by Hollywood would have pickets around the theater saying, 'We are not just idiots.'

My role model, my idol, was Francois Truffaut.

I'm not afraid to use Christ as an icon.

When a man tries to communicate with an animal, there's a relationship between them, and you generally find this between the dog and his master.

I'm not afraid to say 'Jesus Christ,' and I'm not afraid to speak of those who worship him. After all, Jesus preached about love.

I think the success of any movie is dependent upon it being a singular vision.

I'm a real soft, sentimental guy who dreams up decapitations.

If one wants to talk about the end of the world, the apocalypse, you're talking about the world itself. It's not Southern California breaking into the sea. The story is global, and it requires that kind of approach.

I don't see myself as having a dark side.

I think people wanted to see some specificity in faith on TV.
