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

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.

I've always been interested in how we survive and how resourceful we are as Americans.

I am an American Jew and aware of the sensitivities involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.

3D needs a trained eye. It can't be done by everybody. People who just do 3D just for the sake of commercializing their movie another five or six percent and they don't know really how to do it, they should care how to do it better by bringing other directors and collaborators into their lives to help teach and instruct how you really make a 3D movie because it's not just like putting a new lens on a camera and forgetting it. It takes a lot of very careful consideration. It will change your approach to where you put the cameras. So, 3D isn't for everybody.

I like that the best about DVD: how small it is.
