Roger Ebert was the last mammoth alive who was holding the flag for real movies and moviemakers.

Otherwise [digital revolution] hasn't changed my way of filmmaking, I'm not nostalgic in postulating we should still make films on celluloid. I love celluloid but I don't need to continue on celluloid.

We have volcanoes also in our immediate neighborhood. I wish we didn't have to travel that far. Probably the kind of magnitude and awesome raw power of them is very fascinating, and of course it's very cinematic.

Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.

I have been in lots of very intense life situations. I have been shot at, and I have been hungry, and I have been in solitude, and I have also briefly been behind bars. So in a way, I know the heart of men.

I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.

After "Jack Reacher" the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.
