One of my philosophies as a director is to listen to other people's great ideas because they'll help make you better.

Someone once said "Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgements."

I've always thought that we, as human beings, would be naive and arrogant to pretend that we're the only life form in the galaxy.

If the prime directives were followed a little more accurately here on earth, I mean it sounds somewhat Pollyanna, but I think people would certainly get along better.

I think that I've been pigeon-holed by virtue of the fact that I've spent so much time in front of a green screen.

I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.

Don't get me wrong-I'm very thankful for all the aliens I've met and loved.
