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.

The older I get, the more I look at movies as a moving miracle.

My filmmaking really began with technology. It began through technology, not through telling stories, because my 8mm movie camera was the way into whatever I decided to do.

It [Lincoln movie] had nothing to do with politics. It had nothing to do with holding a mirror up to the way we conduct our business on Capitol Hill. This was meant to be a story, a Lincoln portrait if you will. I think any time is the right time for a very compelling story, any time.

I'm very collaborative with everybody on the set.

Image
I basically took something that was extremely erotic and very intentional, and I reduced it to a simple kiss. I got a lot of criticism for that.

I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.

I love Rambo but I think it's potentially a very dangerous movie. It changes history in a frightening way.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I get very, very anxious on the set. I have a thousand ideas and I don't censor myself. I wind up cutting some of them out in the editing room... I shoot [needless footage] and then don't use later on in the process.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.
Steven Spielberg

I had to get over my fear of running through the world naked and learn to say 'take me or leave me.'

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.
