film only-time
The only time I'm totally happy is when I'm watching films or making them.
groups aliens wanted
I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to.
ideas race feelings
Movies are always in a state of locomotion. You start with a general idea of how it should feel and then you find you've got a runaway train. You have to race to catch up: the movie is telling you what it wants to become, and when that happens there's no greater feeling.
country hopeful world
I've always been very hopeful which I guess isn't strange coming from me. I don't want to call myself an optimist. I want to say that I've always been full of hope. I've never lost that. I have a lot of hope for this country and for the entire world. . .
israel machines favors
I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened. At the same time, a response to a response doesn't really solve anything. It just creates a perpetual-motion machine.
party thinking imagination
I think that is the secret of great acting. You have to bring your imagination to the party. You've got to have a great imagination.
father thinking light
I think one of the worst things that happened to me was, you know, my voluntary fallout with my father. And then the greatest thing that happened to me was when I saw the light, and realized I needed to love him in a way that he could love me back.
country responsibility together-again
All presidents swear an oath to the Constitution to keep this country united, and when the country fell apart, Lincoln had to put it back together again, with a lot of help. But he bore total responsibility.
taken people doe
Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.
teacher firsts taught
My first reaction every time I delve into an episode of history that I don't know very much about is... my first reaction is anger that my teachers never taught me about it.
kids knowing people
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
thinking way rambo
I love Rambo but I think it's potentially a very dangerous movie. It changes history in a frightening way.
inevitable elusive
Failure is inevitable. Success is elusive.
fiction science-fiction
There is no such thing as science fiction, there is only science eventuality.
