cared carry dad linked maybe nicer regret relationship subtle time travel
We would go back and maybe not say that thing to our dad that we said, or maybe be a little nicer to someone who we cared about and had a relationship with when we were young. You know, they're subtle things, but we carry those with us forever. And I think that regret and time travel are intrinsically linked to me.
filmmaker films larger slightly solve time
I was going to go and do what I should do as a filmmaker and make slightly larger films each time, learn my craft, make mistakes and solve them.
build earlier filmmakers films forget love stories talk time took
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.
challenge love time traveling
I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.
became certain circle defined life number stretch time
I've always been someone with a small circle of friends. Each stretch of my life has been defined by one person who was just my person. We became inseparable for a certain number of years, and that time was our season, just the two of us making our way through life.
You get 12 years of childhood, give or take.
few people public subjected
The public scrutiny element they don't teach you in film school. So few people are ever subjected to it.
cool corner cult upgrade whatever
We live in a cult of the upgrade right now. There's always something around the corner that will make whatever you think is cool right now feel obsolete.
We're surrounded by wonder, and yet we want more, and we want it bigger, faster, louder, better.
amazing bringing feels gambling room scene stuff talking
I was re-watching 'E.T.' recently, and that scene where they're all around the pizza, bringing the pizza in, and gambling and stuff together, it's such an amazing tone, it's so rough, and nobody's really talking about anything, and it feels like you're in that room with them.
great obviously thrill
Obviously it's a thrill to direct a 'Jurassic Park' film, and it's a great honor.
age grew movies people
Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on Amblin movies. They're a part of who I am as a filmmaker and, arguably, as a person.
people
There are a lot of different elements in play when you're remaking something people care about.
bit
I tell you, man, I'm every bit as a 'Star Wars' fan as anyone else.
