I like to believe that intimate moments between characters don't need to be relegated to independent films.
Colin Trevorrow -
I like very human stories that venture into sci-fi or the supernatural or areas that I think occupy a lot of space in our collective memory for the films that we loved as children.

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.

Kids go through a stage where they love dinosaurs - boy or girl.

We're surrounded by wonder, and yet we want more, and we want it bigger, faster, louder, better.

Jake Johnson wanted to make clear that he was the great American actor, not just the funny guy on 'New Girl.'

I live in Vermont, and we don't have a tax incentive there, and therefore, we don't have professional crew there.

Three 'Jurassic Park' movies isn't enough! You want more!

'Jurassic World' takes place in a fully functional park on Isla Nublar. It sees more than 20,000 visitors every day. You arrive by ferry from Costa Rica. It has elements of a biological preserve, a safari, a zoo, and a theme park. There is a luxury resort with hotels, restaurants, nightlife and a golf course. And there are dinosaurs.

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.
Colin Trevorrow -
In a movie that's sort of a single monster movie, like 'Jaws,' once you see the animal, it identifies the threat, and you're able to start working on ways to take down the threat.
Colin Trevorrow -
There's no need for a female character that does things like a male character; that's not what makes interesting female characters in my view.
Colin Trevorrow -
'Intelligent Life' is kind of a companion piece to 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' Internally, it's a sci-fi romantic thriller.
Colin Trevorrow -
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.

I think, if you can, it's OK to put something in a movie because it makes you feel good.
Colin Trevorrow -
There are a lot of different elements in play when you're remaking something people care about.
Colin Trevorrow -
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.
Colin Trevorrow -
Small moments can coexist with big moments and even back right up against each other.
Colin Trevorrow -
I was going to go and do what I should do as a filmmaker and make slightly larger films each time, learn my craft, make mistakes and solve them.
Colin Trevorrow -
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.

I'm a 'Star Wars' kid. I'm a 'Back to the Future' kid. I'm a Spielberg kid.
Colin Trevorrow -
I tell you, man, I'm every bit as a 'Star Wars' fan as anyone else.
Colin Trevorrow -
'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.
Colin Trevorrow -
I'm a horrible business person.
