horse war stories
The bones of the story of 'War Horse' is a love story. That's what makes it universal.
scripts
The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.
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.

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.

My dad took me to my first movie. It was 'The Greatest Show on Earth' in 1952, a movie of such scale it was actually a traumatic experience.
party opportunity years
There's a lot of confusion about the political ideologies of both parties [Democrats and Republicans] have switched 180 degrees in 150 years. It just too confusing. Everybody claiming Lincoln as their own. And everybody should claim Lincoln as their own, because he represents all of us, and what he did basically provided the opportunities that all of us are enjoying today.
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.
mind age blocked
I've always sort of time-locked and mind-blocked myself in my 30s, and that's always the age I feel.
dad issues responsible
My dad's been responsible for a lot of my issues.
imagination use fiction
It [science fiction] really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.
