thinking decision way
I think producers are more interested in backing concepts than directors and writers. I don't think that's the right way of making a decision about whether you're going to back a film or not.
teacher book thinking
I think that a movie can only be an adjunct or only a supplement to books, to different points of view, to scholars, historians and your own teachers.
technology way telling-stories
My filmmaking really began with technology. It began through technology, not through telling stories, because my 8mm movie camera was the way into whatever I decided to do.
skills outsiders made
When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.
drinking leaving littles
Making a movie and not directing the little moments is like drinking a soda and leaving the little slurp puddle for someone else.
names numbers people
Lincoln's leadership is based on a number of precepts, but my favorite one is that he acted in the name, and for the good, of the people.
people
Lincoln believed in the American people.
poetic-license historical lists
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
mother pedestal kind
It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.
school two noses
In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.
children kids men
I'm not a great man to my children. I'm just 'Pop.' The more involved I am with my kids, it keeps my head flat on top.
drama kids home
I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.
science want fiction
I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.
college lockers quitting
I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.
