When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.

Most of my presumptions about a production are usually wrong.

The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.

The love we do not show here on Earth is the only thing that hurts us in the after-life.

The only time I have a good hunch the audience is going to be there is when I make the sequel to 'Jurassic Park' or I make another Indiana Jones movie. I know I've got a good shot at getting an audience on opening night. Everything else that is striking out into new territory is a crap shoot.

Every movie you're going to forget that it's 3D whether it's widescreen or whatever it is, you're going to forget everything if the movie is working. If the movie doesn't work or if the movie generically doesn't work then immediately you start to pick apart whatever has contributed to that.

For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.
