The only time I'm totally happy is when I'm watching films or making them.

The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.

I always like to play with my kids. I always have the time to do that. That's my priority, always has been, so just interacting with my kids, and being with them is great.

My early exposure to all the leviathans of the Saturday matinee creature features inspired me, when I grew up, to make 'Jurassic Park.'

I didn't read reviews earlier in my career, but I read them now as I'm older. I read them all.

History opens up new worlds to film-makers all the time.

I think that the Internet is going to effect the most profound change on the entertainment industries combined. And we're all gonna be tuning into the most popular Internet show in the world, which will be coming from some place in Des Moines. We're all gonna lose our jobs. We're all gonna be on the Internet trying to find an audience.
