James Cameron's films have always been distinguished by ground-breaking technical excellence.

We exist to have our wealth moved up the economic chain out of our reach.

Why are some people bullied? Because they are different. How? It doesn't matter.

It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says, 'To hell with the consequences.'

It's the same the world over. A Hollywood production comes to town, and the locals all turn movie crazy.

All but a very few of us are in debt. We exist as entities who borrow money and spend the rest of our lives making interest payments on a debt tally that never seems to budge. Whatever wealth we have, in labor, property or cash, is suctioned to the top.

We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking.

Well, you know what, I'm 60 years old, and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.

Time is what the depressed and panicked lack.

Many thrillers follow such reliable formulas that you can look at what's happening and guess how much longer a film has to run.

Anyone who reads advice books about romance has one problem to begin with: bad taste in literature.

It does seem true that a lot of people will do anything, however humiliating, for fame.

Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.

I like smart movies about smart people, and enjoy it when most of the facts are on the table and we can contemplate them together.

When I am writing, my problems become invisible and I am the same person I always was. All is well. I am as I should be.

I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.

One sign of a great actor is when he can be alone by himself on the screen, doing almost nothing, and producing one of a film's defining moments.

If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.

Wes Anderson's mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born. It immediately becomes more than a series of events and is transformed into a world with its own rules, in which everything is driven by emotions and desires as convincing as they are magical.

We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.

No movie has ever been able to provide a catharsis for the Holocaust, and I suspect none will ever be able to provide one for 9/11. Such subjects overwhelm art.

If there's anything I hate more than a stupid action comedy, it's an incompetent stupid action comedy. It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's nothing else but bad.

I'm told we movie critics praise movies that are long and boring.

It's easier to identify with loss than love, because we have had so much more experience of it.

On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.

Movies absorb our attention more completely, I think.

The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.

I don't think I've ever made any good financial decisions.

Bond is fantasy.

I was an only child and I wasn't going to share anything with anybody.

What was good about 'Moonraker' was that we had Jaws back, because after 'The Spy Who Loved Me,' he became a well-loved villain.

I personally didn't like the idea of Bond in space.

I was fortunately always offered jobs because I was so pretty. Women used to complain about it!

Showbusiness is such a mad profession, I find commerce a wonderful outlet for keeping me sane.

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

I'm used to bad reviews.

My iPhone has become rather precious because of all my music on it; every night, we set it for 20 minutes before we fall asleep to listen to some Mozart.

You can't be a real spy and have everybody in the world know who you are and what your drink is. That's just hysterically funny.

I've been married four times and caused a great deal of hurt and upset around me.

Bond has afforded me a great personal passport, which I use for UNICEF.

It's easy to sit in relative luxury and peace and pontificate on the subject of the Third World debts.

Of course I do not regret the Bond days, I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth I have always hated guns and what they represent.

I've not done badly for a boy from Stockwell, where I used to gaze at the silver screen in wonderment, little realising I'd be a part of this magical world.

Without doubt, you are recognized for the last role you played.

I wouldn't like to meet Daniel Craig on a dark night if I'd said anything bad about him.

I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming.

Not many of us are willing to give up everything we have.

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.

In my teens, I was very insecure. And so I invented Roger Moore.
