I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.

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

I once said that CGI makes you less inventive. At the time I was bemoaning the loss of the practical stunt. If a stunt can be done practically and safely, I'd rather do it old-style.

Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.

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 compose the frame literally with the camera. Unless it makes a story point.
