Change is always proceeded by a little pain. Some people can change and they don't have to go through so many painful things. But I think that I'm of a personality that I'm a little stubborn, so it's always tough for me.

Feminists don't like me, and I don't like them.

Women in my family are the center of things. All good things emanate from them. The guys usually mess up.

I've got one of Darwin's books at home and some of that stuff is pretty damn funny. Some of his stuff is true, like that the giraffe has a long neck so it can reach the leaves. But I just don't think you can swallow the whole piece.

Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.

What I need to do to heal myself and to be assuring and allay the fears of others and to heal them if they had any heart wounds from something I may have said.

It's time to sort of get back to a basic message, the message that was given. At this time, the world has gone nuts, I think. And this film speaks -- well, Christ spoke of faith, hope, love and forgiveness. And these are things I think we need to be reminded of again. He forgave as he was tortured and killed. And we could do with a little of that behavior.

I love women. They're the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that's fine.

My hope is that this movie will affect people on a very profound level and reach them with a message of faith, hope, love and forgiveness.

My dad taught me my faith, and I believe what he taught me. The man never lied to me in his life.

My whole approach to wardrobe is, throw it in a suitcase and make sure they don't press it, for Pete's sake, so I can try to display some rumpled charm. Actually, I'm just a pig. I've got coffee stains on my pants. I think they're coffee stains, anyway.

I have learned that a bitter experience can make you stronger. I now boastfully say that I have a hide like a rhinoceros... and I'm smiling. It's an interesting thing.

F**king Jews...the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.

What did one shepherd say to the other shepherd?  Let's get the flock out of here.

Boy, there's nothing more thrilling than a chase. I'd often thought, over the years, that someone should do a whole film where it's nothing but a chase.

I was spiritually bankrupt, and when that happens, it's like a spiritual cancer afflicts you.

A good conspiracy is unprovable. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up somewhere along the line.

But although Australia was also involved in the Vietnam conflict, I can remember my dad telling us that if we were in Australia, we wouldn't be drafted until we were 20.

My family means more to me than the artificial trappings of my career. If ever I had to choose between my career and my family, the wife and kids would definitely come out on top.

The L.A. Times, it's an anti-Christian publication, as is the New York Times.
