I think the greatest thing about DVD is the quality of sound and picture; the real estate to put more extras on; and, my favorite point is it stores quietly in very subtle places in your home .

Twenty years from now, there will still be a square screen, maybe even larger, and people will be sitting in a large, dark space, and they won't know each other unless they bring friends along.

The thing that I'm just scared to death of is that someday I'm going to wake up and bore somebody with a film.

I get very, very anxious on the set. I have a thousand ideas and I don't censor myself. I wind up cutting some of them out in the editing room... I shoot [needless footage] and then don't use later on in the process.

The older I get, the more I look at movies as a moving miracle.

There were so many odd, strange things about Abraham Lincoln that I think nobody knew how to pigeonhole him.

It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.
