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.
-
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.
-
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.

I tell you, man, I'm every bit as a 'Star Wars' fan as anyone else.
-
'Intelligent Life' is kind of a companion piece to 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' Internally, it's a sci-fi romantic thriller.
-
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.
-
The movies of our particular childhood were so great that it's almost impossible to recapture that magic, especially as adults.
-
That's the thing about leaks: sometimes they aren't misinterpreted or false.
-
I'm in a kind of weird position where I want to prove that I can do smaller movies.
-
You really get to direct the movie three times when it comes to the action sequences and the set pieces.
-
I was re-watching 'E.T.' recently, and that scene where they're all around the pizza, bringing the pizza in, and gambling and stuff together, it's such an amazing tone, it's so rough, and nobody's really talking about anything, and it feels like you're in that room with them.
-
We live in a cult of the upgrade right now. There's always something around the corner that will make whatever you think is cool right now feel obsolete.
-
I had to travel into the future and direct 'Jurassic World' as myself in 20 years - and I did.
-
I'm gullible. I think people mean what they say.
-
I want to go make an original movie. It's all very personal, but I want to define myself a little bit more as a filmmaker and hone my craft.
-
You get 12 years of childhood, give or take.
-
I'm very interested in 3D.
-
I'm from Oakland and San Francisco, so I feel like the Pacific Northwest starts there and goes north - so, it's home to me.
-
Woody Allen movies are like Beatles songs. I can't name my favorite without you immediately naming a better one.
