I think all directors should be animators.

I always think if it's a good story, the audience can't wait to run out of the theater and go tweet somebody with the gist of a story, in a nutshell, almost, because it was that interesting.

I think that is the secret of great acting. You have to bring your imagination to the party. You've got to have a great imagination.

I have made almost as many films in England as I have in America. I will come back to England again and again.

Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.

There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.

I turned down 'Harry Potter' and 'Spider-Man,' two movies that I knew would be phenomenally successful, because I had already made movies like that before and they offered no challenge to me. I don't need my ego to be reminded.
