The ideals and principles for which Dr King fought have never been forgotten and are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.
I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.
I'm aware that dialogue isn't my strength. I use it as a device. I don't particularly like dialogue which is part of the problem.
He took me from not being able to write a word in terms of writing screenplays to being the king of wooden dialogue.
'Star Wars' is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It's what they want.
Film is not an easy occupation. There's a lot of occupations that are difficult and film is one of them.
I think that Lethal Weapon-style dialogue is overused, it's a necessary aspect of high action films where you have to have the smart retort. You have to say "I'll be back baby" and stuff. It's not my style.
A lot of people like to do certain things, but they're not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything.
Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.
You can be as rich, and famous, and powerful as you want to be, and it will not bring you happiness. That's said over and over and over, again. It's such a cliché that it hardly needs to be said, but people don't understand that it's actually true.
Football games are on TV, and it doesn't affect stadium attendance at all. It's the same with movies. People who really love movies and like to go out on a Saturday night will go to the movie theater.
For 'Star Wars' I had to develop a whole new idea about special effects to give it the kind of kinetic energy I was looking for. I did it with motion-control photography.
