    • Roland: (on "The Patriot") Everybody accuses me of doing the typical summer fare. Well, here's a movie that's different. It's very dark. It's very long. It's a historical drama.
    • Roland: (on filmmaking) Most important: do what you like best. Stay with what you enjoy doing. Don't take a job just because it's money or it will help your career. I like science fiction, that is what I stick with.
    • Roland: I think sport in general affects what people see in movies. I always try to explain to people in Hollywood that we have to make movies more like sport because, in sport, everything can happen and it's so much better than movies in some ways.
