We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.

I believe Mel Gibson is an extraordinary talent.

Mel Gibson would not be a good James Bond.

When people protest and are upset with a movie, it becomes a big hit. They hated Passion of The Christ, it worked out pretty well for the box office. So let's get that going.

I would still work with Mel Gibson! He's talented, man! Come on, he came up with 'Apocalypto,' man! I want to work with this guy. I've worked with Steven Seagal. He's out of his mind. I mean, I've worked with Spike Lee for four films. I've worked with some people that you can say are right there teetering between genius and madness.

For me, if Shakespeare was around today, he'd be writing screenplays - a big Hollywood movie.

I used to watch people like Richard Burton and Mel Gibson and think, 'I could never do that.'

All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.

I thought 'Moulin Rouge' was inspirational, and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' I loved.

An ideal movie would be, like - to get this to happen, I have to work so much harder - but imagine Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy... Who else? Donald Faison. Directed by Steven Spielberg. That would be awesome.
