I play Xbox. I have a little boy to look after. I have dogs. You know I have things to do. I would love to be able to sit down and watch something like a movie. I watch my own movies because I have to.

As far as writing I like watching bad movies. Nothing stops me in my tracks more than watching a great film like 'The Godfather' or 'Dog Day Afternoon' or 'The Graduate.' You watch one of those and you never want to write again. Whereas with bad movies it makes you think If that counts I certainly could write.

The best movies have one sentence that they're exploring a thesis something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.

When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.

I love movies that make me cry because they're tapping into a real emotion in me and I always think afterwards: how did they do that?

I used to love to go to the movies - I'd see two in a row. A few times I even snuck into the second movie after it started... now that I think about it that's kind of like shoplifting! Needless to say I still love going to the movies but I don't sneak in anymore.

I have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.

After making several tragic movies in a row I was looking to do a comedy and one without cynicism.

January is the garbage can of movies in America directly after all the Oscar contenders have been out.

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Perseverance is not a long race it is many short races one after the other.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

After a storm comes a calm.

I knew however that the next morning after the fight I would have to get away and I did just in time for a full company came early to look for me and were furious because I had escaped them.

I write in the morning I walk in the afternoon and I read in the evening. It's a very easy lovely life.

In a few days an officer came to our camp under a flag of truce and informed Hamilton then a captain of artillery but afterwards the aid of General Washington that Captain Hale had been arrested within the British lines condemned as a spy and executed that morning.

My aunt had a season ticket for the Friday afternoon concerts and I would go down for lessons. My lessons were Saturday morning.

Everybody's after a new morning. What do we have to run up and salute tomorrow?

I run in the morning lift weights in the afternoon basketball training at night and then lift weights again at night.

I hated high school. Ugh. I couldn't wait until it was over so I could sleep in. In college I made sure all my classes were in the afternoon. I hated getting up in the morning.

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

I need to eat before a workout. If I exercise in the morning I'll have a little oatmeal cereal or a hard-boiled egg with toast. If I go in the afternoon I'll eat a turkey sandwich with cheese for lunch.

Our son is in school now. You know he's six-and-a-half and so a big chunk of the day is taken up by school. So I'm hoping that I'll be able to certainly take him to school in the morning maybe pick him up in the afternoon and come back to work.

I was lucky because on the morning after the burning of the Reichstag I left my home very early to catch a train to Berlin for the conference of our student organization and that is the only reason why I escaped arrest.
