Quotable Quotes:

"Adversity cause some men to break their piggy bank prematurely."

"Frequently we are writing characters and we are thinking, "Wouldn't it be interesting to see such and such play this kind of a person?", and the character starts to grow out of that as you are writing it. It's a combination of things that you are making up and what you know about the actor." (IMDB)

"All the greatest things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honour; duty; mercy; hope."
