Quote

When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.

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

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.

If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
Steven Spielberg
Image
For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.

Image
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

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.

The bones of the story of 'War Horse' is a love story. That's what makes it universal.

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

I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.

I've always been interested in UFOs.

There are three movies that I am exceptionally proud of in my life, and I rarely commit to a list of films that I like, that I've made... but these are the three films that I was passionately connected to. The first was 'ET,' the second 'Schindler's List,' and third is 'Saving Private Ryan.'

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

It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.

I guess my first digital movie was 'Tintin' because 'Tintin' has no film step. There is no intermediate film step. It's 100% digital animation, but as far as a live-action film, I'm still planning to shoot everything on film.

The person I enjoy working for more than anyone else is George Lucas. He's the best boss I ever had because he's the most talented boss I ever had.
