I have a lot of those 'Forrest Gump,' I-was-there moments.

'Forrest Gump' was great, it was fabulous. It lasted much longer than anybody thought, and brought me a degree of attention that no human being on the face of the planet deserves.

I made a film that was impossible to make, but I didn't know it was impossible, and that's how I was able to do it.

I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.

I love 'Forrest Gump;' I like sweet, cheery, happy movies. But it has some dark moments too.

'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.

I plough all my money into my next film, so I never actually have any money. It's always invisible.

For some people, I will be Forrest Gump for the rest of my life. But that's OK; that's a good thing.

It's a hard line to walk, man. Cause you know you want to make this movie, you want to make it dark and real, you want to show all this stuff but unfortunately you can't always do that.
