presumption productions
Most of my presumptions about a production are usually wrong.
movie actors proud
Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.
horse war stories
The bones of the story of 'War Horse' is a love story. That's what makes it universal.
years today different
The machinery of the democratic process is really no different today from what it was 150 years ago.
scripts
The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.
country horse thinking
People can relate to horses. Horses, I think, are basically in our genetic history. Horses were part of our culture, part of our collective society, for hundreds of years, and so, the horse is one of the most familiar animals to people of any race or culture or country.
stories terror
When I don't have a story to tell, I'm a terror to live with.
skills outsiders made
When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.
eye style trying
So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject. But it's hard, because everybody has style. You can't help it.
film projects knows
You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.
passionate scripts my-family
It all starts with the script: it's not worth taking myself away from my family if I don't have something I'm really passionate about.
volunteer details directors
One of the gratuities about being a director is that you can volunteer yourself out of difficult details.
daughter mother horse
One of my daughters is a competitive jumper, we live with horses, we have stables on our property. But I don't ride. I observe, and I worry.
desperate-measures noble lobbyists
Desperate times require desperate measures. What Lincoln and the Lobbyist for the Amendment and the Manager of the Amendment and himself, what they did to get this passed was not illegal. It was murky, but what they did was noble and grand. How they went about it was somewhat murky, but nothing they did was really illegal.
