great music
Sometimes, scenes are great without any music at all.
level science
Doing science fiction at a high level is tricky. It's really tricky.
men
I think there are a lot of men who feel they're being emasculated by having the woman be in charge; I've never had that problem.
fact planets reasons science spacecraft type vaguely
One of the problems with science fiction, which is probably one of the reasons why I haven't done one for many, many years, is the fact that everything is used up. Every type of spacesuit is used up, every type of spacecraft is vaguely familiar, the corridors are similar, and the planets are similar.
money people time
Most people need the money all the time.
apart god name tearing
Everyone is tearing each other apart in the name of their personal god. And the irony is, by definition, they're probably worshiping the same god.
definitely kids parents perfectly saturday stay
I was one of those kids who tended to stay in on Saturday nights. My mother used to come and say, 'Why don't you go to the dance with the boys?' And I'm going, 'No, I'm perfectly happy.' I think my parents thought I was definitely weird.
almost phil project
different project that I abandoned. And I almost did the Phil Spector story there for a while.
absolute master trust
There has to be absolute trust between the tiger and its master, but its master must be the master - there must be no mistake about that.
across canvas good turn
You just don't know when you get all the paint across the canvas how it will turn out. When you step back after you've finished, you say, 'This one is not so good. This one is good.'
bends bigger boss demand flooded gets market order seem shows suffering watch watered
We're suffering from saturation, overkill. The market place is flooded by demand, and there are too many films, so everything gets watered down. Demand is the boss and everything bends to that will. Bigger and not necessarily better shows seem to be the order of the day. I can't watch most of them.
history
Unfortunately, we don't seem to learn from history, do we? And you'd think we would.
people
The people who really resurrected 'Blade Runner' was 'MTV.'
When you think about it, 'Avatar' is almost completely an animated movie.
