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

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.

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

We have not looked at any particular movies [in creating War Horse], but again, it's hard not to see the similarities between those movies [because of those filmmakers' influence on the industry].

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.

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.

'American Dream' is a small little movie made for under a million dollars. Totally independent feature.
