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.

Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.

You can't intellectually purge yourself of who you are. Whatever that is, it's going to come out in the wash, the film wash. What you are is going to be relevant, if not to yourself, to the movies you make.

Tracking action without cutting is the least jarring method of placing the audience into a real-time experience where they are the ones making the subtle choices of where and when to look.

Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as 'The Pacific'.

I wouldn't have filmed The Color Purple if the book had been a big fat novel. The reason I read it is because it is thin.

I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.
