I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.

History is so fleeting and we are so busy consuming media and the contemporary culture, voraciously gobbling it up, that we have no room to look back ever, and our young people have a tough time looking back.

My early exposure to all the leviathans of the Saturday matinee creature features inspired me, when I grew up, to make 'Jurassic Park.'

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

I don't make unconventional stories; I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.

You never really know how good of a leader you are until there is something there is lead us to, toward or through or to overcome.
