Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true.

Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.

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

I can't describe it, what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. This means something. This is important.

I missed my dad a lot growing up, even though we were together as a family. My dad was really a workaholic. And he was always working.

Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as 'The Pacific'.

I didn't read reviews earlier in my career, but I read them now as I'm older. I read them all.
