Hope Is Not A Strategy. Luck Is

I'm King Of The World!!!

Rose: You're Crazy. Jack: That's What Everybody Says But, With All Due Respect, Miss, I'm Not The One Hanging Off The Back Of A Ship Here. Come On. C'mon, Give Me Your Hand. You Don't Want To Do This.

Go Home, Pick Up Your Video Camera, And Make A Film.

I Tried [being A Mogul]. It Bores Me. I Don't Really Want To Produce Other People's Movies. Because They're Either Grown-up Filmmakers Like Steven Soderbergh Or Kathryn Bigelow That Didn't Really Need Me - And I've Produced Both Of Them. It's Fun To Sit Around With Them And Be Collegial, But They Don't Need Me. They Can Make The Film Without Me. I Make My Own Stuff. There Are Tons And Tons Of Other Things I'm Interested In That Have Nothing To Do With Movies Or Are Documentary Projects.

Don't Get Seduced By Your Own Stuff; Work Hard To Keep A Blank Slate State Of Mind Each Time You Watch Your Film.
