I think living things can recognize the movement of other living things, and all the best animators in the world can't quite capture that something.
-
The best of all kinds of movies are character-driven, and I definitely don't want to lose sight of why Derek and I started to write movies together in the first place.
-
We're surrounded by wonder, and yet we want more, and we want it bigger, faster, louder, better.
-
I like to believe that intimate moments between characters don't need to be relegated to independent films.
-
'Jurassic Park' movies don't fit into a specific genre. They're sci-fi adventures that also have to be funny, emotional, and scary as hell. That takes a lot of construction, but it can't feel designed.
-
I think that no relationship goes completely according to plan or the way you wished it had.
-
I'm a horrible business person.
-
I like how you can go back and watch David Lean and John Ford and see the influence that had on Steven Spielberg, especially David Lean, in the camerawork, and yet, you don't watch any Spielberg movie and think of David Lean. Once you're looking for it, you see it all, but it's not in your face.
-
There are a lot of different elements in play when you're remaking something people care about.
-
I was joking with my mom that all Jewish mothers now will want their kids to be filmmakers instead of doctors. Because you can make one film, and suddenly you're directing a 'Jurassic Park' movie.

I didn't watch horror movies when I was a kid. I didn't watch any bad movies.

There's scary stuff in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' There's some really nasty skeletons and dead bodies.

'Jurassic Park' was able to get away with big, dynamic filmmaking that might be out of place in another kind of story.
-
For whatever reason, from a young age I've always been able to shoot images and cut them together with sound in a way that was very engaging.
-
Three 'Jurassic Park' movies isn't enough! You want more!
-
Michael Giacchino is a fiercely creative musical mind and a true 'Jurassic Park' fan.
-
I can say pretty confidently that I am not the right guy to do a superhero movie, just because I was not a comic book kid. I don't know that mythology, and I don't have it ingrained in me in the way that a lot of these other directors do.
-
The public scrutiny element they don't teach you in film school. So few people are ever subjected to it.
-
I'm a 'Star Wars' kid. I'm a 'Back to the Future' kid. I'm a Spielberg kid.
-
I think, if you can, it's OK to put something in a movie because it makes you feel good.
-
Small moments can coexist with big moments and even back right up against each other.
-
Big, big movies are in 3D, but we haven't reached a point yet where that's just what a movie is.
-
I tell you, man, I'm every bit as a 'Star Wars' fan as anyone else.
-
I feel a lot of films that are shot digitally, even low-budget independent films, they look super slick now. Because the technology is so good that they look too good.
