Lincoln's leadership is based on a number of precepts, but my favorite one is that he acted in the name, and for the good, of the people.

I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.

I have a choice - I can either watch all the dailies, or I can follow the social media. I can't do both.

In the re-creation of combat situations, and this is coming from a director who's never been in one, being mindful of what these veterans have actually gone through, you find that the biggest concern is that you don't look at war as a geopolitical endeavor.

I don't go through a torturous intellectual process to decide what to direct. I know what I want to direct the second I read something or hear a story. I just know when it grabs me in a certain way I want to direct it. And then I spend the next four to six months trying to talk myself out of it, because directing is really hard! But it's true, I know essentially when and what I want to do next... it's an undeniable feeling I get and it's not the same feeling I get when I wind up producing something.

Not every movie, in my opinion, should be in 3D. There are a lot of stories I wouldn't shoot in 3D. But, you know, there are movies that are perfect in 3D.

There are so many rumours about so many of us in the public eye. Sometimes it's too hard to deny what is not true.
