After a scary movie about the world almost ending, we can walk into the sunlight and say, "Wow, everything's still here. I'm OK!" We like to tease ourselves. Human beings have a need to get close to the edge, and when filmmakers or writers can take them to the edge, it feels like a dream where you're falling, but you wake up just before you hit the ground.

I've always sort of time-locked and mind-blocked myself in my 30s, and that's always the age I feel.

The making of the movie and the routine of making the movie is a lot like being in a Spanish prison for five years on a marijuana breakdown.

A lot of kids only know 'E.T.' from the digitally-enhanced version.

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 .

This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.

Audiences are harder to please if you're just giving them effects, but they're easy to please if it's a good story.
