The greatest films ever made in our history were cut on film, and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the process. I just love going into an editing room and smelling the photochemistry and seeing my editor wearing mini-strands of film around his neck.

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

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

A lot of the films I've made probably could have worked just as well 50 years ago, and that's just because I have a lot of old-fashion values.

My dad's been responsible for a lot of my issues.

For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.

I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm dreaming for living.
