I just like the process of taking something written on a sheet of paper and giving it life and shape. I like the collaborative process of filmmaking, which is all simply to say that I love my work and I would continue to look for things that have the potential to be engaging and successful.
If you're going to define me properly, you must think in terms of my failures as well as my successes.
The only thing that I have done that is not mitigated by luck, diminished by good fortune, is that I persisted, and other people gave up.
I get an opportunity to communicate with the audience about the movie that I've made. I get the chance to bring attention to the film that I've made. I care a lot about the movies that I make. I want them to reach an audience, and I want them to be successful. I promote nearly everything that I do, unless I've got some bad taste in my mouth.
'May the Force be with you' is charming but it's not important. What's important is that you become the Force - for yourself and perhaps for other people.
The set for 'Blade Runner' was maybe the hardest set I've ever worked on because I think we worked 50 nights in a row, and it was always raining.
We're all interconnected. For example, a simple lack of fresh water can lead to population dislocation, which can lead to political radicalization, which can lead to great pressure on the states that receive refugees because of a migrating population.
What amuses me most about Skip is he often represents everyone in the deal, ... And, he does a really good job for everybody ? I've always walked away from every negotiation and thought, 'Jesus, how did he get that?'
Steven Spielberg and I now have a script in hand that we both like. I believe that we can start with the filming soon.
I was always very grateful I was never 'hot,'... In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the hottest, the No. 1, the most adored. I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
YAHOOOOO! You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home.
Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy.
I didn't just wake up one morning 63 years old, so it's not a real blow to me. It's been incremental. I've been able to accommodate.
