Spielberg was very young and starting up when we did Sugarland Express and I loved that, but the main thing was that I really loved his talent.

For me, movies should be visual. If you want dialogue, you should read a book.

I like to work with talented people, I must say that. That's my weakness. I really like to work with good directors. That doesn't mean I don't like to work with starting up young directors, that's fun also.

There is something missing in a lot of digital filmmaking, something I call "poetic reality." That's something you see played out in film noir, where the technique establishes the mood.

I hope that film is going to stay as an artform and that people won't forget that there are good movies also to be made.

I should mention Vittorio Storaro, who was Bernardo Bertolucci's cinematographer. You watch those films and they are exceptional.

I don't know the American photographers as well, but I admit I love Ansel Adams. His landscapes are so crisp.
