The thing that interests me is the good and evil in everybody. I don't have conventional heroes in the films that I directed, because I believe there's good and evil in everybody.

If you call yourself a non-believer, you're referring to disbelief in something, and you're acknowledging that there is something to believe in or not.

I don't believe that Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind, or any damn picture that you can name, would be better off in 3D. I think it's a gimmick. I find 3D distracting.

I believe today that there is no film and no shot in a film that is worth a squirrel getting a sprained ankle.

I believe it's true that there's good and evil in everyone and it's a constant struggle to have your better angels prevail.

There are many untalented people making millions of dollars in the film business.

The art of movies is to allow the audience to suspend their disbelief. They need to use their imaginations.
