I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.

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.

I was afraid of small spaces and I was afraid of the tree outside my window, and I had all these phobias. I think many kids have those phobias, but I probably had more than most.

I'm very collaborative with everybody on the set.

[The way Stanley Kubrick] tells a story is antithetical to the way we are accustomed to receiving stories.

I always like to think of the audience when I am directing. Because I am the audience.

If the world ran the way a crew runs a set, we'd have a better, more progressive world.
