Once a month the sky falls on my head, I come to and I see another movie I want to make.
From Steven Spielberg
I don't drink coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That's something you probably don't know about me. I've hated the taste since I was a kid.
If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story.
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.
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 don't really have a schedule of when I want to show my children my movies.
I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids.
Most of my presumptions about a production are usually wrong.
So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject. But it's hard, because everybody has style. You can't help it.
