I’d love to build a company that will continue to make movies well beyond me someday. And I’d like to help start something great, even investing in it myself.

3D is not a fire and forget tool. It takes a lot of very careful consideration and it will change your approach to where you put the camera so 3D isn’t for everybody.

Twenty years from now, there will still be a square screen, maybe even larger, and people will be sitting in a large, dark space, and they won’t know each other unless they bring friends along.

I think that the perceived downs in my own career come from just managing my time and not feeling that I have enough time for my family or my friends. You could put that in the personal life category but it’s all one category because I’ve got to balance my family.

I’m 62 years old. Am I old enough to win a lifetime achievement award? Yes, I am. Thank you very much.

Even if I’d had a really happy relationship with my father and there was no emotional hiatus for a decade and a half, I probably would still have made some of the same choices for movies that I’ve made.

I’m not a great man to my children. I’m just ‘Pop.’ The more involved I am with my kids, it keeps my head flat on top.

My dad’s been responsible for a lot of my issues.

For one thing, I don’t think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.

And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I’ve never questioned the choices I make as a director.
