You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change you change.

Movies are always in a state of locomotion. You start with a general idea of how it should feel and then you find you've got a runaway train. You have to race to catch up: the movie is telling you what it wants to become, and when that happens there's no greater feeling.

I love history, so I do a lot of movies about history.

I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.

The making of the movie and the routine of making the movie is a lot like being in a Spanish prison for five years on a marijuana breakdown.

Image
When war comes, two things happen - profits go way, way up and all perishables go way, way down. There becomes a market for them.

Image
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.

My problem is that my imagination won't turn off. I wake up so excited I can't eat breakfast. I've never run out of energy. It's not like OPEC oil I don't worry about a premium going on my energy. It's just always been there. I got it from my mom.

I've learned there are a lot of people that don't want to believe the Holocaust ever happened because it doesn't fit their other beliefs and so they deny it and it makes them sleep better at night to do so. But it makes the Holocaust survivors sleep better at night to know that we've given them a voice.

When I was a kid, there was no collaboration it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.

Before statehood was achieved, Syria and Egypt had their tanks and military equipment lined up to invade Tel Aviv and destroy it but the Israelis scrambled together an air force, some of it from old Second World War Messerschmidts, and the invasion was halted.

I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.

From the day I started to think politically and to develop my own moral values, from my earliest youth, I have been an ardent defender of Israel.

Audrey gave more than she ever got. The whole world is going to miss her.

I turned down 'Harry Potter' and 'Spider-Man,' two movies that I knew would be phenomenally successful, because I had already made movies like that before and they offered no challenge to me. I don't need my ego to be reminded.

The greatest films ever made in our history were cut on film, and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the process. I just love going into an editing room and smelling the photochemistry and seeing my editor wearing mini-strands of film around his neck.

I don't play online games. 'Warcraft,' I've played that, but I mainly play action games.

Twenty years from now, there will still be a square screen, maybe even larger, and people will be sitting in a large, dark space, and they won't know each other unless they bring friends along.

I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.

I think Lincoln had a unique parenting style. He let his kids run free and wild.

I once said that CGI makes you less inventive. At the time I was bemoaning the loss of the practical stunt. If a stunt can be done practically and safely, I'd rather do it old-style.
