(on his character Lyle in The Italian Job (2003) (who speaks a lot of technical jargon:) "I don`t believe in e-mail. I rarely use a cell phone and I don`t have a fax. But part of the reason I got this job is that I`m good at making complicated technical terms sound normal. It sounds obnoxious, but I compare it to doing Shakespeare. You just figure out the emotional content of the line and go with that. It doesn`t matter what you`re saying if you come from an honest place. Though most people don`t know half the words, you don`t have to dumb down. I hate when they show a policeman saying "I`ve got a 3-U at Baker Street ... breaking and entering." No one talks like that."
- Seth Green(on film critics) "There are a few critics overseas, and occasionally a critic will write an astute analysis of the movie. There is value in reading critics that actually have something intelligent to say, but the journalistic community lives in a world of sound bites and literary commerce: selling newspapers, selling books, and they do that simply by trashing things. They don`t criticize or analyze them. They simply trash them for the sake of a headline, or to shock people to get them to buy whatever it is they`re selling."
- George Lucas
