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

[Spielberg] surrounds himself with great crew members who are at the top of their game and know their stuff. He motivates us by liking what we do, and he doesn't get paralyzed by the process or by new ideas. He embraces them and uses them.

[ 'American Dream' ] probably will [go] somewhere in Europe. You get 3000 entries [to] Sundance, and how many movies get [screened]? So, I'm a realist. I'm very much realistic in terms of if this movie will be released in the States. Probably not.

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

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

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

It would be horrible to be micro-managed! I don't think directors can really micro-manage people. It's just impossible.
