Paul Haggis's quotes

  • A lot of films made me love the movies, everything from Hitchcock (Alfred Hitchcock) to Godard (Jean-Luc Godard). But the ones that really grabbed me were Costa-Gavras' films like Z (1969) and State of Siege (1972).
  • As artists, we have to be brave. If we aren't brave, we aren't artists.
  • Talking about Scientology (in the New Yorker): Demands for donations never seemed to stop. They used friends and any kind of pressure they could apply. I gave them money just to keep them from calling and hounding me.
  • [Talking about Walker, Texas Ranger (1993)] It was the most successful thing I ever did. Two weeks of work. They never even used my script!
  • What I love about writing is the contradictions we all embody as human beings.
  • [on whether he thinks Scientology is a cult] Of course it is, it's a system of belief that you've got these people inside this fortress who won't look out, who won't look at any criticism, who can't bear to think that everyone is against them.
