I Try Not To Lie To People

Movie-making Is Telling A Story With The Best Technology At Your Disposal.

I View My Wife As My Lover, And We Have A Bond That Goes Beyond Words Like Wife Or Girlfriend Or Mother.

Reading A Script Is Usually As Exciting As Reading A Boilerplate Legal Document, So When You Read One That Makes You Feel As If You're Seeing The Movie, You Know It's Something Different.

I Am A Lay Historian By Nature. I Seek Out An Empirical Reflection Of What Truth Is. I Sort Of Want Dates And Motivations And I Want The Whole Story. But I've Always Felt, Unconsciously, That All Human History Is That Connection From Person To Person To Person, Event To Event To Event, And From Idea To Idea.

The Same Way That I Know That I'll Never Do A Movie As Good Or As Celebrated As 'forrest Gump,' I Know That I'll Never Do A Movie As Bad As 'bonfire Of The Vanities.'
