Zitat des Tages von James Woods:
My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.
The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.
Do you think I want to be the one lone voice against the Hollywood liberal establishment? It's not going to do me any good.
I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the Earth because I figure a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say, just come on up.
Sometimes the way you respond to horrific, evil deeds is the measure of one's self as a man, as a nation, as people, as a community.
The press is like a big bass, you just stick a hook in their mouth and they'll take it.
Look, just go sit at the card table with the rest of the kids and let the adults run the country.
Because of who I am, when I sit at a poker table, I meet people who engage me in conversation, not only about poker, but also about the movie business and about the world of celebrities.
No matter what it is, if you get 10 people in the business talking about something, you get 10 different opinions, but you know, they're amazingly well informed.
I'm a pretty quiet guy, but if people want to think of me as a lady killer, I guess that's good.
If you strive for the moon, maybe you'll get over the fence.
I just love poker players.
Celebrity - I don't even know what that means. Obviously it's the same basic word as celebration, but I don't know what's being celebrated.
I'm absolutely gonna win it, because I'm ruthless. I sit at the poker table and my job is to destroy people.
I was able to lean on people for favors and things to help out because their budget was so low. It was half of what John Travolta's perk package is on a film. Our whole budget was half of what his staff makes on a film.
The silent killer of all great men and women of achievement - particularly men, I don't know why, maybe it's the testosterone - I think it's narcissism. Even more than hubris. And for women, too. Narcissism is the killer.
So you can say whatever you want and quote me however you want about politics and make the next payday, and that's fine because I'm making that deal with you, but just mention the movie along the way, OK?
We work in an environment where your options are to do, you know, Batman 10, so when you get to do a movie that's a really great film like this, people really step up to the plate and enjoy it.
The whole world has gone back to something we are genetically engineered to do - communicating through symbols.
I've had wonderfully lucrative offers to do another network series. I could do that again and have a very luscious retirement.
If General Motors can't survive and run their business like a business, let them go under.
