If you can't stop somebody from working and making movies that you hate, what's the next best thing? Destroy them personally.
From Michael Cimino
Because people don't see me around a lot, I'm the source of all sorts of rumour.
There's nothing good that comes out of war. It's simply hell on earth, and people survive, and people don't.
All one has to do is look at old footage of the firebombing of Dresden during World War II and think of the people beneath those bombs. It's horrific.
I think 'American Sniper' is anti-war. It demonstrates the agony of the decision-making that goes on.
Movie-making ain't for sissies.
I wish I was making movies back in the days when John Ford made movies and you were a director under contract to a studio. John Ford had years when he made three movies in a year.
I love to scout locations.
It's very important to follow your instincts because, beyond what you know exists or what you're told exists in a given area, your intuition plays a big part in finding something special.
I would never suggest that the geography or visual environment of the film is more important than what's going on with the people, but it's a major factor in getting the right tone. Certainly, it influences the actors tremendously.
