believe views grandparent
What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold.
thinking too-much stereotype
I think any stereotyping is too much.
school imagination special
It makes me feel like a very special person, that I'm able to make my living with my imagination. I developed a big respect for my calling while I was in school, and it remains with me to this day.
pride looks sin
I look upon pride as a sin.
people perception groups
I don't see people as groups, I see them as individuals.
cowboy people done
I know a lot of cowboys and I've done a little work on ranches with cattle, and those people become your friends, and keep their word.
war people tactics
The tactic of leading people into... a war that doesn't make any sense by telling them they are under attack, and if they raise any objection they're unpatriotic, is a very old tactic. And it doesn't intimidate me.
trying next different
I try as hard as I can for everything to be different from one movie to the next.
titles
I don't analyze things like titles.
direct
I don't direct movies for a living.
fighting
I don't fight anybody anytime or anywhere.
political voters world
In the political world, the only position I have is voter. I'm not a spokesman for anything.
real moving people
I'm a believer in belief. Faith is something that works - it causes people to do things, it has results. It's an intangible, indefinable, very real thing. And it moves people, sometimes to atrocity. And sometimes to survival.
