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

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

My early exposure to all the leviathans of the Saturday matinee creature features inspired me, when I grew up, to make 'Jurassic Park.'

I had to get over my fear of running through the world naked and learn to say 'take me or leave me.'

I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.

3D is not a fire and forget tool. It takes a lot of very careful consideration and it will change your approach to where you put the camera so 3D isn't for everybody.

I think the secret of great acting is that you have to bring your imagination to the party. You have to have a great imagination and you have to bring it every day when you're working. Your imagination and your skills as an actor are what see you through, not what you're wearing or where you are.
