Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.

Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely.

Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad. I think the film could have been a lot better.

There are many applications for which film is going to be better, for a very long time.

Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.

Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.

I think in the old days, films really went for the shock, with the blood and guts, but movies are getting better. The writing and directing have improved a lot, because the audience demands it.

I think that those are the things that you can uniquely do with film that are difficult to do anywhere else: they can bring a picture to life, give it a natural and historical context and make you feel that everything else is suddenly credible.

I think that a good movie creates its own world, and that world needn't refer to anything that's real. If it's consistent, if it's entertaining, if it's interesting, it justifies its being there.
