People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.

I compose the frame literally with the camera. Unless it makes a story point.

Science fiction really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.

I've always wanted to tell a story about Lincoln. I saw a paternal father figure; I saw someone who was completely, stubbornly committed to his ideals, to his vision.

I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm dreaming for living.

I think that a movie can only be an adjunct or only a supplement to books, to different points of view, to scholars, historians and your own teachers.

I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.
