I had to convince the investor that Scotland and Montana look completely alike. He couldnt believe it. But they actually do. I defy anybody to tell when were in Montana and when were in Scotland.

I was throwing the big broadsword around my head for a couple of hours. Then I went horse riding the same day. Then I was laid up in bed for a week and I couldn't move because my entire neck had gone out from overdoing that one exercise. That was the extent of my training on 'Braveheart.'

The experience of 'Braveheart' was great, but I was a little disappointed that we weren't telling the rest of the story.

A politician's speech can't do what a movie or a cultural event like a song or piece of music can.

This is the problem with politicians. They spend all their time making these speeches and pretending to have integrity but all they are doing is toeing a party line. It is so disgusting.

I realised that you just don't know about destiny. You think you are in control of your fate but, really, you are not. There are other powers at work. You don't get to see the full picture until decades later.
