The only person who can, with impunity, make the movie he wants to make, has got to be Steven Spielberg.

I've never been a big fan of the music-video style of editing movies that crept in the last few decades. I like stuff that's able to take its time.

The amazing thing about any movie is not whether it's good, but that it got made at all.

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.

Boy, I'd hate to shoot on tape or disc or whatever the hell they're talking about. I love film.

I am fascinated with times past.

One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life', which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.
