Everybody who works for Amblin Television has to do five jobs.

I've always sort of time-locked and mind-blocked myself in my 30s, and that's always the age I feel.

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

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

If movies generically don't work, you immediately start to pick apart what ingredients contributed to that. If any movie is working, hopefully how it was made will be the least of your concern. You'll only want to have a god time.

So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject. But it's hard, because everybody has style. You can't help it.

People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
