character thinking film
I think every film I make that puts characters in jeopardy is me purging my own fears, sadly only to re-engage with them shortly after the release of the picture. I'll never make enough films to purge them all.
kids giving insecurity
I still have pretty much the same fears I had as a kid. I'm not sure I'd want to give them up; a lot of these insecurities fuel the movies I make.
goodbye who-i-am looks
Movies become living organisms that graduate from a filmmaker's sphere of influence and pretty much look back and tell you how they need to be said goodbye to. A movie often turns around and looks at you and says, "Here is who I am, and that's maybe now how you see me, but that's who I've become." And you've got to be open enough to go with that.
world film makers
History opens up new worlds to film-makers all the time.
winner
Everybody loves a winner, but nobody loves a winner.
I love history, so I do a lot of movies about history.
mind age blocked
I've always sort of time-locked and mind-blocked myself in my 30s, and that's always the age I feel.
writing years two
I'm not in a race with anybody to make the biggest hit movie anymore. I am just trying to tell stories that I can stay interested in for the two years it takes me to supervise the writing and to direct them.
dad issues responsible
My dad's been responsible for a lot of my issues.
war taken hero
I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero. The minute anybody presumes that they are heroes, they get their boots taken away from them and buried in the sand.
groups aliens wanted
I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to.
illumination tv-news perfect
Watching violence in movies or in TV programs stimulates the spectators to imitate what they see much more than if seen live or on TV news. In movies, violence is filmed with perfect illumination, spectacular scenery, and in slow motion, making it even romantic. However, in the news, the public has a much better perception of how horrible violence can be, and it is used with objectives that do not exist in the movies.
war eye years
I'm as guilty as anyone, because I helped to herald the digital era with _Jurassic Park (1993). But the danger is that it can be abused to the point where nothing is eye-popping any more. The difference between making Jaws (1975) 31 years ago and War of .
media choices watches
I have a choice - I can either watch all the dailies, or I can follow the social media. I can't do both.
