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

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

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

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

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].

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

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.
