The work that I'm proudest of is the work that I'm most afraid of.

I like the smell of film. I just like knowing there's film going through the camera.

You can't start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.

Lincoln believed in the American people.

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

I don't drink coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That's something you probably don't know about me. I've hated the taste since I was a kid.

I guess my first digital movie was 'Tintin' because 'Tintin' has no film step. There is no intermediate film step. It's 100% digital animation, but as far as a live-action film, I'm still planning to shoot everything on film.
