If I can build a coalition of people who are interested in what I have to say and what I'm thinking, I hope they'll come with me if I want to go tell a story that doesn't have dinosaurs in it - which I plan to do.
-
I've said before: 'If you're going to earnestly sing a song around a campfire, you'd better be a Muppet!' Or else we're just not going to buy it.
-
I love the kind of movies I watched when I was a kid. But, I also love telling great stories.
-
Never since we discovered there were dinosaurs did anyone get sick of them.
-
I don't believe that a female character needs to surrender her femininity in order to be an action hero.
-
I thought Charlize Theron was awesome in 'Mad Max,' and that was a very masculine kind of hero.
-
I feel like, on a more macro scale, there's started to be a relationship between filmmakers and people who watch their films - you know, on Twitter and on the Internet.
-
Marketing for a film is tricky because you release stuff without context.
-
I prefer to be scared in a way that a 12-year-old would want to be.
-
There's a glee in building a world that is constructed on corporate synergy and all the luxuries of our modern life, and then just tearing it apart. I enjoy that!
-
That's the thing about leaks: sometimes they aren't misinterpreted or false. They're real story elements that the filmmakers were hoping to introduce to the audience in a darkened movie theater.
-
I've always been someone with a small circle of friends. Each stretch of my life has been defined by one person who was just my person. We became inseparable for a certain number of years, and that time was our season, just the two of us making our way through life.
-
'Jurassic Park' isn't about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation.
-
I don't know if I wanted to be Spielberg; I would never say that.
-
I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.
-
I feel like we've found an interesting little corner of the sandbox here as far as the way we're telling sci-fi stories. I don't think it's limited to sci-fi - I think anything fantastic can co-exist with people you and I know, and not these hyper-real movie people.
-
Anytime somebody tells me they saw 'Safety Not Guaranteed' in the theater, my answer is, 'That was you?'
-
There's something about dinosaurs that should be very humbling to human beings.
-
I was not a kid who watched every movie. I watched a very small number of movies over and over again.
-
There's no shame in being romantic at all. I think people want to feel that sense of romance, which is rarely even attempted anymore.
-
I feel like, whatever movie I was making, there would always be moments of human intimacy and insight into a little bit of what makes us tick as people.
-
Now, everyone in movies is always rich, and they're always beautiful and graceful-looking.
-
I love big movies, and I love big moments.
-
Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on Amblin movies. They're a part of who I am as a filmmaker and, arguably, as a person.
