“I still love her. But she’s retarded, too.”

We are not that flash, me or the missus. In fact, we are quite low-maintenance.

In fact, 95% of the people in my films have been nothing less than a pleasure to work with.

My principal job is to make interesting and entertaining films, and I’m not proud of which format or which particular technique I use. I just wanted the film to look good.

You get a different kick out of all aspects of filmmaking.

It’s still too early to say how my wife will influence my life. But I do already know that it’s sometimes hard work living with her.

I love fatherhood. I could bang on about kids forever.

We can all be conned but at what point do we realize that we’re being conned and to what point do we allow ourselves to be conned?

If you change the rules on what controls you… you will change the rules on what you can control.

I can understand that the whole world is interested in my wife Madonna. That’s even why I married her.

I think it’s that much harder to make a good comedy than it is straight and apparently serious.

I like to think that we’ve got a plan, so let’s stick to it. That said, once we’ve stuck to it, we’re allowed as much improvisation as anyone cares to indulge themselves in.

I suppose directing on set is the most fun because it’s a good crack and you feel you’re on the battlefield whereas writing is a fairly solitary undertaking.

I don’t like the idea of agents in a typical form. The idea of agents, to me, brings up the idea of a man in a very boring suit who’s not very good looking and doesn’t have much attention to style.

I’m not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.

It’s not easy to strap yourself down to a desk and bash on a keyboard when you know you can direct lots of films, because directing films is fun and interactive and gregarious. Writing isn’t.

One of the interesting and exciting things about my job is watching technological ground being pioneered.

You don’t know what God can do with your broken pieces until you give God your broken pieces.

Is there still time? or will we remain past tense.

Holding on to things only breaks your heart.

You can love someone and still make the choice to let them go.

Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.

Let things break you wide open, that’s where the golden light is.

You didn’t just cheat on me; you cheated on us. You didn’t just break my heart; you broke our future.

Life is an egg you have to be patient and careful with it or it will break.
