drama kids home
I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.
drinking leaving littles
Making a movie and not directing the little moments is like drinking a soda and leaving the little slurp puddle for someone else.
names numbers people
Lincoln's leadership is based on a number of precepts, but my favorite one is that he acted in the name, and for the good, of the people.
cameras stories
I compose the frame literally with the camera. Unless it makes a story point.
people
Lincoln believed in the American people.
poetic-license historical lists
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
want ingredients made
If movies generically don't work, you immediately start to pick apart what ingredients contributed to that. If any movie is working, hopefully how it was made will be the least of your concern. You'll only want to have a god time.
matter able too-much
I make some movies for myself. I do that sometimes when the subject matter is very sensitive and very personal and I really can't imagine that I'm an audience member. I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience. There are other types of genre films that I need to be able to direct from the audience, to be right next to you watching the picture being made.
conflict sensitivity palestinian
I am an American Jew and aware of the sensitivities involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
college lockers quitting
I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.
coffee kids taste
I don't drink coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That's something you probably don't know about me. I've hated the taste since I was a kid.
media choices watches
I have a choice - I can either watch all the dailies, or I can follow the social media. I can't do both.
creating minorities faster
I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.
going-out substitutes feels
I feel there is no substitute for going out to the movies. There is nothing like it.
