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.

A good year for me is when me and my family are in good health. I'm just lucky to have good years doing something I like to do.

The time it would take me to write a screenplay it would take me the time to make two films. I would rather make the movies and I'm a better moviemaker than I a would be writer.

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

Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.

I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.

You don't really know what you're going to get until you're actually in Abbey Road. That's where I did all the music, in The Beatles' place.
