I love it when I have a nightmare to me that means I got my money's worth out of that eight hours

Your only competitors are your past achievements.

There is a vast frontier that's going to take us a while to understand... it was very lunar, a very desolate place, isolated.

I guess Titanic because it made the most money. No, I`m kidding. I don`t really have a favorite. Maybe Terminator because that was the film that was the first one back when I was essentially a truck driver.

The film industry is about saying 'no' to people, and inherently you cannot take 'no' for an answer.

I don’t feel that I’m making movies for iPhones. If someone wants to watch it on an iPhone, I’m not going to stop them, especially if they’re paying for it, but I don’t recommend it. I think it’s dumb, when you have characters that are so small in the frame that they’re not visible. I’m trying to make an epic.

Climate change is critical to me because I'm a parent; I feel a sense of responsibility to the future. I'm not going to be around to see its worst effects, which are going to be hitting in the 2030s, '40s, '50s, but my kids will.
