Macho was a fashionable word in the 1980s. Everybody was kind of into it, what`s macho and what isn`t macho. I really don`t know what macho is. I never have understood. Does it mean somebody who swaggers around exuding testosterone? And kicks the gate open and runs sprints up and down the street? Or does handsprings or whatever? Or is macho a quiet thing based on your security. I remember shaking hands with Rocky Marciano. He was gentle, he didn`t squeeze your hand. And he had a high voice. But he could knock people around, it was a given. That`s macho. Muhammad Ali is the same. If you talked with him in his younger years, he spoke gently. He wasn`t kicking over chairs. I think some of the most macho people are the gentlest.

- Clint Eastwood

(on killing off the lead characters in The Devil`s Rejects (2005)) "That was always the ending and every actor had a complaint about that. I wanted to do it because it seems like nobody makes a movie anymore without a sequel set up. Lions Gate was like `The franchise... It`s gone.` But you know, that`s the problem. I feel like there`s never a definitive ending anymore. Every movie ends with the possibility of another one and it drives me crazy. I feel like, `Why did I just invest two hours? It didn`t even end.`"

Sometimes I`m asked if there`s homophobia in Hollywood. There`s homophobia everywhere on Planet Earth, just like there`s racism and sexism and anti-Semitism, and such stupidity isn`t checked at the gate at the movie studio. But the difference in show business is, if you can make money for people they don`t care what you do. They don`t care if you screw yaks in the middle of the street. They`ll even buy you a yak. They`ll give you their yaks.

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion`s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don`t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it`s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it`s always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I`ve got a sneaky feeling you`ll find that love actually is all around.

Soft pity enters an iron gate.

- William Shakespeare

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

- Marcus Tullius Cicero
