Speculation replaces fact. It's very easy to see news outlets running with information that is unconfirmed or erroneous.

I'm focusing on the issues that bring people together and build broad majorities.

To say that I'm going to veto something that I haven't read is just - or sign something that I haven't read - I don't think is good policy for any chief executive.

We can't let government make long-term commitments that it may not be able to keep.

Government must continue to live within its means.

Setting the state budget is one of the most important tasks we undertake at the state Capitol - because after all, it's the people's money - not the government's.

We want to make sure Arizona residents have the opportunity to learn about the decisions we are making and have a chance to participate in the process.

I want to see us add more dollars to the classroom.

We all should be concerned if our kids don't know who Sandra Day O'Connor, John Adams, and Ronald Reagan are.

These are basic, nonpartisan, non-ideological questions. How many United States senators are there... who was the first president.

The Governor's Office is going to get out of the litigation business.

In our administration, we're going to follow the law, and any policy that we move forward will fall well within the law and the Arizona Constitution.

If you're old enough to father a child, then you're old enough to accept financial responsibility for that child. If you don't want your embarrassing, unlawful, and irresponsible behavior going viral, man up and pay up.

The American people overwhelmingly oppose taxpayer funding of abortions, and it's no different in Arizona, where we have long-standing policy against subsidizing them with public dollars.

My philosophy is that I may not like all the questions that you ask, and you may not like all the answers that I give, but this is part of a transparent government.

I'm always concerned about how our state looks.

As our economy advances, our government and our laws need to modernize, too.

If there's one thing Arizona is best in the nation at, it's water.

A great economy requires great public schools.

I'm committed as governor to valuing and nurturing our relationships with our friends to the south.

Where opportunities to expand trade and commerce exist, we will lead, and we will partner.

I've repeated time and again that Arizona is open for business.

One state can't set everything right, but here in Arizona, we can set an example for the rest of the country in how those of us in elected office conduct ourselves and interact with each other and our constituents.

I honestly believe that we are Arizonans and Americans first, not merely advocates for our respective political parties.

I hope you'll find that my campaign was a reflection of how I plan to govern - bringing people together, building coalitions, and finding common ground.

We don't want Arizona to be dependent on the whims of Barack Obama and the federal government.

We want to control our own destiny and take responsibility for our own outcomes.

Let's learn from our peers and then beat them at their own game.

I've visited schools all across our state, and the message is clear. Our kids have needs today, and our educators need more resources to do their jobs.

When Arizona became a state, the federal government granted our founders nearly 11 million acres of state land. Every time we sell a piece of that land, proceeds go into the Land Trust where the money is invested and earns interest.

Too often, I hear stories of teachers and parents spending part of their paychecks to ensure there are supplies in the classroom - even basic necessities like pens, pencils and paper. This is unacceptable.

As our economy advances, educational attainment is going to keep Arizona competitive.

Earning a certificate or degree, or both, after high school opens the door to countless economic opportunities.

I built a company, a team, and a brand that started right here. It was an American success story, and it started right here in Arizona.

If you saw a better idea or business anywhere in the world, and you could reapply it legally and ethically and with attribution, you were supposed to do that. And I used that learning in building Cold Stone.

I built a company; now, I would like to shrink a government and grow an economy.

I'm a believer in private enterprise, the dignity of work, limited government, and the possibilities of freedom.

I am a forthright defender of the right to bear arms - which is guaranteed not only by the U.S. Constitution, but by the Constitution of Arizona.

We think that this message - of someone that's from the private sector that built a company and now wants to shrink a government and grow an economy - is a winning message.

This is America. Success is not guaranteed.

Trust me: you make a movie about time travel, and you know for a fact humans will never travel through time. The paradoxes that come up just from trying to tell a story with time travel really illuminates the fact that it's impossible. It will never happen. We can barely get through a movie that involves time travel.

If you go to a restaurant with Tom Cruise, it's like walking in with Santa Claus. Everybody is in a better mood because he's there.

The thing about TV is it's a meritocracy. I love that aspect of it - and I've had shows that have gone on the air and been canceled. I've seen the good and the bad of it.

Almost anything can be justified as a style of filmmaking if it works.

The more real I got on 'The Bourne Identity,' the more interesting it got. So 'Fair Game' was the chance to go a few more steps in that direction. In fact, I discovered this whole other world that I had ignored in the 'Bourne' franchise, which is the domestic life of a spy, and how you make the two halves of your life coexist.

When I was shooting 'The Bourne Identity,' I had a mantra: 'How come you never see James Bond pay a phone bill?' It sounds trite, but it became the foundation of that franchise.

To be honest, when I started watching VR content, I was mostly disappointed and thought people could do better - not that different from when I set out to make 'Swingers' and thought, 'There's a better way to make an independent film.' Which is why 'Swingers' ended up being so much less expensive than anything like it.

With VR, you are directing in a 360-degree environment. The biggest challenge is that the viewer can look anywhere. They might look at the the weakest moments, the very things you edit for TV. You don't control where they look.

All of my fellow directors, I think, would agree that in whatever medium you are working, the challenges and obstacles push them to be more creative. That's the case with VR.

From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on 'Jumper' was done 'Swingers'-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.
