kids
A lot of kids only know 'E.T.' from the digitally-enhanced version.
kids years today
All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.
kids thinking space
I was afraid of small spaces and I was afraid of the tree outside my window, and I had all these phobias. I think many kids have those phobias, but I probably had more than most.
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.
coffee kids taste
I don't drink coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That's something you probably don't know about me. I've hated the taste since I was a kid.
kids knows versions
A lot of kids only know 'E.T.' from the digitally-enhanced version.
kids thinking wrecks
I was a scared kid... I think I was born a nervous wreck, and I think movies were one way to find a way transferring my own private horrors to everyone else's lives. It was less of an escape and more of an exorcism.
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.
running kids thinking
I think Lincoln had a unique parenting style. He let his kids run free and wild.
school kids thinking
I think in terms of chapters. Every time I finish a movie, it's a chapter. When one of my kids graduates from school, that's a chapter.
kids knowing people
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
morning school kids
I dont work weekends. Weekends are for my kids. And I have dinner at home every night when Im not physically directing a movie - I get home by six. I put the kids to bed and tell them stories and take them to school the next morning. I work basically from 9.30 to 5.30 and Im strict about that.
taken kids media
Social media has taken over in America to such an extreme that to get my own kids to look back a week in their history is a miracle, let alone 100 years.
