Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.

Well, not totally because over the years I've probably done 2,700 commercials. So, I'm always ticking. And in a way that was a huge advantage because I was able to take my time choosing my film subjects because I wasn't relying on the fear of not being able to work.

A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.

In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

Blade Runner was the godfather of all these fantastic movies that occur today. What's frustrating is that we're short of really great writing and great ideas. Blade Runner was full of them.

And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.

I think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it`s 3% good, 97% stupid.
