“I'm not particularly a career-oriented guy. I'm lucky. I can make really interesting films much of the time with interesting people yet be anonymous, have a private life. But, I'd like to have the choice of the better roles.”
“I believe that Jews and Arabs can live together. It's not an easy thing but I believe we can reach an agreement.”
“Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod; With its crystal tide for ever, Flowing by the throne of God?”
