With all of my films that are on DVD and Blu-ray, I have spent weeks with them in a color timing room. Just changing or enhancing them. I have been desaturating the color. Sometimes I will make a scene bluer or redder. I do use the new medium. I believe in it.

And it was only a week later that I realized a close up of Steve McQueen was worth the greatest landscape you could find.

Star Wars is one of a handful of films that changed the zeitgeist forever.

Sam Jackson is a director's dream. Some actors hope to find their character during shooting. He knows his character before shooting. Sam's old-school. I just got out of his way. I never did more than two takes with Sam.-william friedkin

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

If Star Wars had failed, you wouldn't have 90 percent of what's out there today.

I don't go to the movies much anymore. There's very little that draws me. I watch mostly the older stuff, and I often don't sit through the new films.
