My head's not in the clouds, but I think I've gotten too much credit for being an astute businessman.

Making a movie and not directing the little moments is like drinking a soda and leaving the little slurp puddle for someone else.

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.

From the day I started to think politically and to develop my own moral values, from my earliest youth, I have been an ardent defender of Israel.

You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.

There's nothing self-serving about what motivated me to bring 'Schindler's List' to the screen.

If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
