drew time
I'm very used to working with first time actors - you can just look back at 'E.T.' with Drew Barrymore, and Christian Bale from 'Empire of the Sun,' who'd never made a movie before.
falls
Once a month the sky falls on my head, I come to and I see another movie I want to make.
beyond carrying embargo existence grudges personally reason
I personally feel this embargo should be lifted, ... I don't see any reason for its existence beyond grudges carrying into the 21st century.
alec eventually forget guinness laurence picks roles
If he picks the right roles and doesn't forget the theater, I think he can eventually be Alec Guinness or Laurence Olivier.
children collection delivering expecting films middle movies parents people point points prism represent seeing shared sitting table talking taught teachers telling ten
I don't think this collection of films represent everything. We're not delivering a shared point of view. These movies are all so different from each other. We all look at a movie through a prism of everything our parents and teachers taught us and what our children are telling us. You can't make a movie expecting everyone will have the same reaction. Ten people seeing 'Munich' will come out with 10 different points of view. It was always that way, sitting around the Passover table talking about the Middle East.
kids
A lot of kids only know 'E.T.' from the digitally-enhanced version.
actively america boy deeply few last publicly scouting scouts
The last few years in scouting have deeply saddened me to see the Boy Scouts of America actively and publicly participating in discrimination. It's a real shame.
real home thinking
I think the greatest thing about DVD is the quality of sound and picture; the real estate to put more extras on; and, my favorite point is it stores quietly in very subtle places in your home .
cutting wind ideas
I get very, very anxious on the set. I have a thousand ideas and I don't censor myself. I wind up cutting some of them out in the editing room. I shoot needless footage and then don't use it later on in the process.
decision half example
I've got a lot of examples about moments where I thought something would work on film and it didn't work, but I never came to that decision with the film half shot, where I was stuck on a runaway train and couldn't jump off. On those occasions where I have admitted defeat, that this is not going to work, I haven't embarked on that project and made that movie.
running thinking listening
I don't do the running commentary as the movie's playing. I think you should be able to watch the movie without listening to me talk while the movies playing.
dvds
I like that the best about DVD: how small it is.
doors kind film
Whatever affect any of my films have on audiences, I just kind of stop at the door. I make them and I just don't go outside after they're over.
art hands names
All of my movies are about how I wish the world would work. I've made very few movies about how the world worked. I could name them on one and a half hands, about how my movies have been very reflective of how the world was exactly. A lot of my movies are really about the way I wish the world was, and that's what this whole art form is all about. It's an interpretive art form.
