choices way cameras
I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.
goodbye who-i-am looks
Movies become living organisms that graduate from a filmmaker's sphere of influence and pretty much look back and tell you how they need to be said goodbye to. A movie often turns around and looks at you and says, "Here is who I am, and that's maybe now how you see me, but that's who I've become." And you've got to be open enough to go with that.
commitment bags way
It starts with the writer-it's a familiar dictum, but somehow it keeps getting forgotten along the way. No film-maker, irrespective of his electronic bag of tricks, can ever afford to forget his commitment to the written word.
goal making-money results
I'm not really interested in making money. That's always come as the result of success, but it's not been my goal.
film-directing people stories
People have forgotten how to tell a story.
hands people care
When I was younger, all I cared about was what people thought of me and my films. Now I care less about catering, hand-serving, hand-feeding the audience. I've gotten to the point now in my life where I'm serving myself.
dad firsts my-dad
My dad took me to my first movie.
saving-private-ryan three proud
There are three movies that I am exceptionally proud of in my life, and I rarely commit to a list of films that I like, that I've made... but these are the three films that I was passionately connected to. The first was 'ET,' the second 'Schindler's List,' and third is 'Saving Private Ryan'.

horse home war-horse
Wherever you are, I will find you and I will bring you home
war-horse not-alone
You're not alone, are you? Because I'm here
motivational years world
The most expensive habit in the world is celluloid, not heroin, and I need a fix every few years.
parent mind important
From a very young age, my parents taught me the most important lesson of my whole life: They taught me how to listen. They taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge - and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.
