'Sugarland Express' was pretty amazing.

I like the ending of the movie [War Horse], simply because it's such a demanding scene emotionally, and yet [the look] is all done on camera. I like the work not to be manipulated digitally. And it's all done on camera [in that scene].

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

[Steven Spielberg makes] human movies. Movies [...] that reflect the life we wish it would be, not necessarily as it is. And the happy ending, you know. Life is a tough thing to begin with, and I like the happy ending.

It's great to be recognized for work, and the work is great, but once you have the awards, it becomes less important. It just gives you the ability to do better work, in my opinion.

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

['American Dream' will be released] probably never.Never in the United States because there's no room for independent cinema.
