The only movie that I would ever even consider retrofitting is the first ‘Jurassic Park,’ which I think would look pretty spectacular in 3D. That’s the only one of my films that I would consider doing in 3D.

As a Jew I am aware of how important the existence of Israel is for the survival of us all. And because I am proud of being Jewish, I am worried by the growing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the world.

My father had many, many veterans over to the house, and the older I got the more I appreciated their sacrifice.

I dream for a living. Once a month the sky falls on my head, I come to, and I see another movie I want to make.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

The most expensive habit in the world is celluloid, not heroin, and I need a fix every few years.

3D needs a trained eye. It can't be done by everybody. People who just do 3D just for the sake of commercializing their movie another five or six percent and they don't know really how to do it, they should care how to do it better by bringing other directors and collaborators into their lives to help teach and instruct how you really make a 3D movie because it's not just like putting a new lens on a camera and forgetting it. It takes a lot of very careful consideration. It will change your approach to where you put the cameras. So, 3D isn't for everybody.
