Dolby was in the driver's seat. "Surround Sound" was added. Now we had three speakers behind the screen, two more on the left side of the theater, and two on the right. A closely guarded secret about all this is that you hear the correct balance only if you're sitting in the center of the theater. On the left or right side, those speakers tend to dominate.

Good style, to me, is unseen style.

For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that come to you by accident.

I only said 'Titanic' is unwatchable because one can not watch it.

Everything becomes creative if the person doing the job is

There are no personal revelations other than feelings arising from the work itself

There's a powerful magic about being a writer that I still marvel at.
