I don't really think too much about special effects because that's not really something I can clearly visualize, so I leave that to the pros.

Well I think effects are tools.

So, when the special effects are at the service of the story and draw you into it, that is really the magic.

And it's very hard to do this stuff too because there are so many effects movies being done, so many companies busy doing this work and the public just wants to see it. Good work is being done all over the world.

I'm not afraid of special effects, but I see them very much as a means to an end.

Whenever I see pointless use of special effects, I reach for something else.

I had no special effects, no monsters running around, nothing blew up; those things are all things I've done so many times that they lose their allure after a while.

I like doing as many special effects in camera, as much as possible.

Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
