thinking film share
I think that the success of the film is as much about it being something that families could share as anything else.
thinking television grappling
What I'm still grappling with and learning how to do is to be looking and thinking cinematically, having come from television.
thinking stories different
Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.
fall optimistic thinking
I'm not as optimistic as Gene Roddenberry was. I fall somewhere in the middle. But as a romantic, I like to think things are going to get bigger rather than worse.
thinking age digital
I do think there's something about the digital age that is increasingly dehumanising us. We're in this very weird place where we're being pulled into experiences that aren't really experiences at all.
kids thinking years
I think when you're 10 years old, it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.
thinking want worth-your-time
I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.
thinking actors should
I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.
passion thinking obsession
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
stars war thinking
You know, we didn't want to kill anyone, but we knew that "Star Wars" is a generational tale. It always is. And for it to have some guts and some resonance and true stakes, I don't think that everyone could have come through the story unscathed.
thinking people age
I think that the reason you keep hearing that it's the golden age of TV is because original storytelling is happening all the time in that medium, and people are hungry for it. And I'm as guilty as anyone for being part of an industry that is capitalizing on existing stories, sequels, these things that we are seeing again and again and again.
recovery thinking firsts
I think admitting youre an addict is the first step towards recovery.
thinking ideas giving
I do think that at a certain point, the reboot sequel mode has to give way to original ideas and back to a place where, you know, films are, you know, a medium and the cinema is a place you go to see something that is, you know, wholly new.
thinking signatures
I don't think I have a signature.
