I think every movie I've made after 'Indiana Jones,' I've tried to make every single movie as if it was made by a different director, because I'm very conscious of not wanting to impose a consistent style on subject matter that is not necessarily suited to that style. So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject.

I've never seen the first three 'Star Wars' movies. It's just not really my genre.

I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

I want to see as many movies as I can and I covet a lot of weird influential movies.

My films are completely new. I am not similar to anybody in the history of movies.

I have been a film buff all my life and believe that the finest cinema is fully the equal of the best novels.

My favorite film is 'The Empire Strikes Back.' My writing, and my personal taste in movies and books, tends toward works with a darker tone, and 'Empire' fits that the best of all the movies.

I have eclectic tastes in the movies I want to do.
