"Science, when applied to personal relationships, is always just wrong ."

E. M. Forster

“When I left 20th Century-Fox to freelance, my agent believed that getting big money was the way to establish real importance in our industry.”
“The casting is the most important thing. If you cast a picture really well a lot of things take care of themselves. You get actors that like to give a lot to the role and who appreciate the role on the same level that you do. If you miscast it, you're working an uphill battle a little bit and maybe you can come out okay but you can't always come out great.”
“The ability to rebound is in inverse proportion to the distance your house is from the nearest railroad tracks.”
“A hallucination is a species of reality, as capable of teaching you as a videotape about Kilimanjaro or anything else that falls through your life.”
“Whatever contradicts the Word of God should be instantly resisted as diabolical.”

“The great enemy of creativity is fear. When we're fearful, we freeze up - like a nine-year-old who won't draw pictures, for fear everybody will laugh. Creativity has a lot to do with a willingness to take risks. Think about how children play. They run around the playground, they trip, they fall, they get up and run some more. They believe everything will be all right. They feel capable; they let go. Good businesspeople behave in a similar way: they lose $15 million, gain $20 million, lose $30 million and earn it back. If that isn't playing, I don't know what is!”
“The love you feel in life is a reflection of the love you feel in yourself.”
“My greatest fear when we were doing "Body Heat" was that I wouldn't be sexy. I didn't have a self-image of myself as this alluring, powerful, sexual female.”
