“I really woke up one morning and said, you know, 'I haven't seen a good film about the American Revolution. And all the ones I have seen haven't been successful, but I'm going to make a successful one.' Well, I wasn't able to do that.”

“We all know we have a prescribed amount of time on Earth. We just don't know how much.”

“Every film I do, I'm involved with from the very conception of the project.”

“Those who talk about the sacrifices that they make throughout a career, I do not understand too much. For me, the real sacrifice would be getting up early in the morning to work.”

“No matter how bad things are, you can at least be happy that you woke up this morning.”

“I write early in the morning, usually after reading portions of at least half a dozen newspapers on the web.”
