Obama’s not embarrassing. The country is embarrassing Picture Quote #1

Audiences want to see intelligent movies Picture Quote #1

I’m a benevolent dictator Picture Quote #1

George Clooney’s ‘Ides of March’ could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they’re gonna go back and say, ‘Oh, that was American politics in that time period.’ I follow politics, I love it, and that movie is so authentic Picture Quote #1

I saw ‘Tintin’ in Europe - it is ‘Indiana Jones’ on steroids. Unbelievable. What a fantastic movie. Steven Spielberg, you rock the house. And working with those young English guys like Edgar Wright, and also Peter Jackson; what a great combination Picture Quote #1

When we talk about Oscars, it’s almost as a symbol of excellence, and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol. So, a movie like ‘The Artist’ that costs $14 million, has to go out and compete with movies that cost $140 million. How does David deal with Goliath? Picture Quote #1

Margaret Thatcher made tough decisions. She put people out of work and she stood up to labor unions and she did a lot of things that I did not like Picture Quote #1

Everybody who’s played Marilyn Monroe before has gone down in flames. It’s impossible to capture Marilyn Monroe Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m the tough guy with taste, good friends, you know, describe me that I’m the tough guy, period, the way others do. But, you know, I’ll tell you, I’m a complete wuss when it comes to my own kids Picture Quote #1

You know, for years I used to read about myself. They’d say, ‘He has a temper’ or ‘He’s a bully’ or something like that, and it always bothered me Picture Quote #1

All that self-control stuff, I tried all that stuff from analysts. I went everywhere to these guys, every kind of anger-management, psychologist, psychiatrist. ‘Get rid of my temper, get rid of my temper.’ And there was only one guy who just said, ‘I don’t think this is related to, uh, issues. I think there has got to be something wrong.’ Picture Quote #1

If we don’t get gun-control laws in this country, we are full of beans. To have the National Rifle Association rule the United States is pathetic. And I agree with Mayor Michael Bloomberg: It’s time to put up or shut up about gun control for both parties Picture Quote #1

I want to deal with somebody who comes from another country to the United States and has a family that comes. I don’t care if it’s a black family from Jamaica or a Hispanic family from Mexico. These issues need to be dealt with, but they need to be dealt with in the entertaining way Picture Quote #1

We’ve been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren’t able to do Picture Quote #1

I’m probably the only person who goes to work and says ‘Wow, it’s really nice here and sweet,’ even in the competitive movie business Picture Quote #1

I speak to kids 16, 17 years old, they haven’t read a newspaper. They haven’t physically handled a newspaper. They don’t even look at the headlines on a subway. These kids are on the Internet and the level of news that they’re getting is not the quality of ‘The New York Times’ or ‘The Wall Street Journal.’ It’s way deficient, and they don’t care Picture Quote #1

It’s the golden age of French cinema again but it’s because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law Picture Quote #1

There is nothing like the way people feel after they’ve seen ‘The Intouchables.’ They feel amazing. The word of mouth on this film is incredible. It’s intelligent-feeling good. You’re not insulted by the low-browness or stupidity of some of the humor. It’s so smart and terrific Picture Quote #1

Roman Polanski is a man who cares deeply about his art and its place in this world. What happened to him on his incredible path is filled with tragedy, and most men would have collapsed. Instead, he became a great artist and continues to make great films Picture Quote #1

I think for us - the Weinstein name, the Miramax name - they’ve both become synonymous with brands. We have a real winning formula when it comes to championing a different kind of movie, and I think the audience trusts us Picture Quote #1

We need Netflix. We in the independent sector more than anybody need Netflix, because they care about what we do Picture Quote #1

I think we do have our true, original stories that work. I can tell you that ‘The King’s Speech,’ which we did, became a worldwide smash because people loved the personal story Picture Quote #1

I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary ‘Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,’ which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film, and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it Picture Quote #1
