As a group, we are stronger than we are as individuals. We start to think we want everything for ourselves and we don't want to help anybody else. We want to succeed, but we don't want anybody else to succeed, because we want to be the winner.
You can't do it unless you can imagine it.
Working hard is very important. You're not going to get anywhere without working extremely hard.
The script is what you`ve dreamed up-this is what it should be. The film is what you end up with.
Part of the reason my friends and I became successful is that we were always helping each other.
The secret is not to give up hope. It's very hard not to because if you're really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.
Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose.
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
I like Star Wars, it's fun and I enjoy doing it. But it's definitely not my life. I'm a bigger movie fan than I am Star Wars fan. I like making movies.
The one way the world hasn't changed: teaching is still the most important job.
You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.
Success is when you try to achieve your inward vision externally and have it come off the way you see it. Then YOU feel successful about it; that's how success is measured.
I don't ever see movies by myself. I always see them with other people because I want to know what works. I want to know where they laugh. I want to know where they don't laugh. I want to know what they think about it afterwards because in the end that's what the art that I'm working with is.
Art is the retelling of certain themes in a new light, making them accessible to the public of the moment.
