phones cells two
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
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.
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.
jurassic-park leviathan parks
My early exposure to all the leviathans of the Saturday matinee creature features inspired me, when I grew up, to make 'Jurassic Park.'
illumination tv-news perfect
Watching violence in movies or in TV programs stimulates the spectators to imitate what they see much more than if seen live or on TV news. In movies, violence is filmed with perfect illumination, spectacular scenery, and in slow motion, making it even romantic. However, in the news, the public has a much better perception of how horrible violence can be, and it is used with objectives that do not exist in the movies.
imagination use fiction
It [science fiction] really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.
boss enjoy persons
The person I enjoy working for more than anyone else is George Lucas. He's the best boss I ever had because he's the most talented boss I ever had.
wake-up scared film
The thing that I'm just scared to death of is that someday I'm going to wake up and bore somebody with a film.
retirement years phones
I don't want to quit. I've always said that Clint Eastwood is one of my best friends. I've known Clint for many years and we have almost a jokey relationship about retirement. I always say: "OK Clint, are you ready to retire this year?" And he always says: "No, are you?" So, I'm waiting for the phone call where Clint says he's hanging up his spurs. That's never going to happen. If it doesn't happen for Clint, it won't happen for me.
tvs different television
Television has a different biorhythm than movies. I love the biorhythm of TV.
inspired very-good
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.
winner
Everybody loves a winner, but nobody loves a winner.
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'.
