I'm not a fan of Star Wars. That is not for me. That is for my nephews and nieces. I don't get it.

'Star Wars' gave birth to all the computer-generated superhero films.

I can't sit through the superhero films. But I watched Draft Day, and it was kind of sweet in an old-fashioned way.

Sure, you could go out and make Jaws today. But all of the sequels to Jaws weren't good. They are all worthless. The Godfather II is the only sequel that I have ever seen that is as good as or better than the original.

I don't like 3D. I don't believe there is any film that I have seen and loved that would have been improved by a scintilla in 3D. To me, it's just a gimmick.

One of my themes is that there is good and evil in everyone. I was not out to make these guys heroes. I really don't believe in heroes. The best of people have a dark side and it's a constant struggle for the better side to survive and to thrive.

Technique is of less interest than character and story.
