The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.

The director has to win, because you should never force a director to shoot something they don't believe in.

Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.

As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.

I didn't want my kids having to pass through an airport named after their father.

Motion-capture is not a genre. Motion-capture is a tool and technique and what we tried to do was to really use both motion-capture and traditional animation to build a system.

What I love about films is that you can see "King Kong" and you can be affected by it and then you realize that he was just this little guy when he made that fall.
