True movies will never be measured by how much they make - they'll be measured by how they make you feel.

I don't have a seller's remorse about how I've lived. I am cognizant of what I have done, and any of us could maybe draw the line better. But I've tried to live pretty fearlessly.

Sometimes we worry about the things that you know that matter the least and don't focus on the things that matter the most.

I wouldn't do the movie unless I thought it had a chance to be good.

I just tried to build on my failures.

We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean, are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone, that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away.

It's never bothered me to work hard. I've probably worked on some of the longest schedules in movie history.
