As I'm getting older, I want to make sure every film I do really counts.

It's the best of the best. No film can hope to top it(Kubrick's 2001).

What you do, is you gradually become more and more experienced, and more and more realistic about dramatic tolerance, i.e. about how long the play should be.

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.

There's a little thing on your shoulder called intuition and it whispers in your ear. Everyone has that, there is a voice telling you to do something. Most people ignore it - but you must listen to it. I do it every day, all day.

MPC, Moving Picture Company, they're really excellent, they did the majority of the effects.

Once you crack the script, everything else follows.
