I have a choice - I can either watch all the dailies, or I can follow the social media. I can't do both.

I'm 62 years old. Am I old enough to win a lifetime achievement award? Yes, I am. Thank you very much.

Movies are always in a state of locomotion. You start with a general idea of how it should feel and then you find you've got a runaway train. You have to race to catch up: the movie is telling you what it wants to become, and when that happens there's no greater feeling.

You never really know how good of a leader you are until there is something there is lead us to, toward or through or to overcome.

I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.

Before I go off and direct a movie, I always look at four films. They tend to be The Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and The Searchers.

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