Quote

The creation of the island, or the impression of the island, as it changes in the mind of the character also came in to play... there was another very important collaborator, Rob Legato, on special visual effects. And then ultimately there's Thelma Schoonmaker, who keeps me focused during the editing of the picture.

I was born in 1942, so I was mainly aware of Howard Hughes' name on RKO Radio Pictures.

Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.

The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.

You've got to protect whatever creative talent you have left.

My films really have to be a part of a whole body of work that says something to me.

People say you should do it this way, someone else suggests that, yes, there's financing, but maybe you should use this actor. And there are the threats, at the end - if you don't do it this way, you'll lose your box office if you don't do it that way, you'll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up.

Rock & roll seemed to just come to us, on the radio and in the record stores. It became our music. . . But then we uncovered another, deeper level, the history behind rock and R&B, the music behind our music. All roads led to the source, which was the blues.

Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.

Basically, you make another movie, and another, and hopefully you feel good about every picture you make. And you say, 'My name is on that. I did that. It's OK.' But don't get me wrong, I still get excited by it all. That, I hope, will never disappear.

Always get to the set or the location early, so that you can be all alone and draw your inspiration for the blocking and the setups in private and quiet.

I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.

I just wanted to be an ordinary parish priest.

You gotta understand, when moving images first started, people wanted sound, color, big screen and depth.

I accept all awards. I like them.

More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down.

I think there's only one or two films where I've had all the financial support I needed. All the rest, I wish I'd had the money to shoot another ten days.

I wouldn't presume to be God's point of view.

I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism - where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs - is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we're talking about. There aren't many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema.

There was always a part of me that wanted to be an old-time director. But I couldn't do that. I'm not a pro.
