If the world ran the way a crew runs a set, we'd have a better, more progressive world.
From Steven Spielberg
For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.
Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.
When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.
This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.
I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.
You can't start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.
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.
