The greatest directors are the greatest users. They use people's talents to tell the story that they want to tell.

[Spielberg] surrounds himself with great crew members who are at the top of their game and know their stuff. He motivates us by liking what we do, and he doesn't get paralyzed by the process or by new ideas. He embraces them and uses them.

There are films that are difficult. There are films that would actually affect your personal life because of the length of the production, how long [you're away] from the family.

If you take away 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan', I like 'Minority Report' a lot.

Very few people make exterior movies anymore. It's always action films driven by action and quick editing.

[ 'American Dream' ] probably will [go] somewhere in Europe. You get 3000 entries [to] Sundance, and how many movies get [screened]? So, I'm a realist. I'm very much realistic in terms of if this movie will be released in the States. Probably not.
