I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.

The only time I have a good hunch the audience is going to be there is when I make the sequel to 'Jurassic Park' or I make another Indiana Jones movie. I know I've got a good shot at getting an audience on opening night. Everything else that is striking out into new territory is a crap shoot.

All I have to do is pose for a picture and I'm getting married to the person standing next to me.

Social media has taken over in America to such an extreme that to get my own kids to look back a week in their history is a miracle, let alone 100 years.

The costume the actors wear and if they're in stylized makeup and wigs in a live-action movie let's say, in a big costume drama, even though it does give them a sense of great ambience and environment and they kind of feel like they're in a great court, or if they feel like they're in the old west, or if they feel like they're being chased by hobbits or dinosaurs, it all comes down to the actors looking each other in the eye.

Making a movie and not directing the little moments is like drinking a soda and leaving the little slurp puddle for someone else.

I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.
