looks four samurai
Before I go off and direct a movie, I always look at four films. They tend to be The Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and The Searchers.
fantasy animation wells
Well, luckily with animation, fantasy is your friend.
movie magic matter
Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.
inspired very-good
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.
unique laughing manipulation
The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences. Now, through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.
art giving goal
Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.
dream night
I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm dreaming for living.
film only-time
The only time I'm totally happy is when I'm watching films or making them.
ideas race feelings
Movies are always in a state of locomotion. You start with a general idea of how it should feel and then you find you've got a runaway train. You have to race to catch up: the movie is telling you what it wants to become, and when that happens there's no greater feeling.
inspirational motivational happy
All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.
running world way
If the world ran the way a crew runs a set, we'd have a better, more progressive world.
film projects knows
You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.
children years important
I thought film was more important than life itself for many years. But I was naive to the world until my first child was born in 1985.
thinking strange odd
There were so many odd, strange things about Abraham Lincoln that I think nobody knew how to pigeonhole him.
