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

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].

'Sugarland Express' was pretty amazing.

["War Horse"] does have action as well, but we allow the audience to appreciate the environment where these characters are from because the lens shapes the people, as we know.

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.

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

I just directed another picture called 'American Dream' with Nick Stahl. Just finished shooting principal photography right before I started ['Lincoln'].
