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.

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

Because of how much movies cost, it's dangerous to be experimental on one film after the other. But we can experiment with television. We can do things that are fringe and bring ideas to the table that are offbeat and original.

I've discovered I've got this preoccupation with ordinary people pursued by large forces.

I see some parallels between then [Lincoln's era] and now. Certainly the division of ideologies between two parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In 1865, the Democrats were the Conservatives and the Republicans were the progressives, and today it's just the opposite.

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

Television has a different biorhythm than movies. I love the biorhythm of TV.
