I dream for a living.

I dream for a living. Once a month the sky falls on my head, I come to, and I see another movie I want to make.
dream fall scary
After a scary movie about the world almost ending, we can walk into the sunlight and say, "Wow, everything's still here. I'm OK!" We like to tease ourselves. Human beings have a need to get close to the edge, and when filmmakers or writers can take them to the edge, it feels like a dream where you're falling, but you wake up just before you hit the ground.
dream years collective-unconscious
You have many years ahead of you to create the dreams that we can't even imagine dreaming. You have done more for the collective unconscious of this planet than you will ever know.

There are no easy answers to the most complex story of the last 50 years.

'E.T.' began with me trying to write a story about my parents' divorce.

I was saddened that after long negotiations and many compromises we were unable to come to terms with Universal's parent company, GE.
buy collectors continue everybody intention original people remembers replace wants
My intention was never to replace the original film. When people buy 'E.T.' I want them to know they have the original movie, not just for collectors and aficionados, but for everybody who remembers it and wants to continue remembering it just that way.
