Quotes

• "No, of course not. This is our home."
• "Bourne 4 is in the works for Summer 2011."
• "We're hoping to make a fourth, but we don't have a story and we don't have a script. I assume it can happen, but we have to come up with a storyline that's deserving."
• "Amis early acquired a habit of vigilance, of stopping cliches at the frontier."
• "A woman of royal blood who is every bit as smart, cunning and devious as the powerful men around her."
• "Young men had the same preoccupations back then as they do now, and we know what those preoccupations are."
• "Every Friday night during production, Hugh Jackman would buy lottery tickets for the crew. To the best of our knowledge, no one ever won."
• "When you make eye contact with a big game cat that's caught in a zoo, behind bars…when you lock eyes with it, and it tells you that it can't get you now, but if it could, you would be hamburger in a matter of seconds…that's a powerful look. To me, that inspired a lot of the motivation behind Sabertooth."
• "His approach to acting was really inspiring. To him, this is a new art form. To him, it was something to learn and he was probably the most enthusiastic person I've ever seen on set. He never went back to his trailer. He was always there, always learning. He was a natural."
• "It's a thin line between her power and female persuasion."
