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

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.

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].

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

[I] love 'Munich', man. That's a very underappreciated film.

It's very hard to go to Monument Valley and not think of John Ford's films.

You can't really micro-manage. You'll never make the movie in 52 days, if you micro-manage. If you do that, you take the creativity away from people because people just really quickly become disinterested when they're always being told how to do it.
