I'm Totally Anti-commercialism.

Awards Movies Are Normally Sort Of... Life-affirming And Noble. It's Probably Too Much Of An Intellectual Conceit And, You Know, People Don't Like It When You Don't Lead The Bad Guy Off In Cuffs.

When I'm Watching Somebody Act, It's A Behavior Editorial Function - I Look At Someone Act, And I Might Say, 'i Don't Believe Him When He Says That.' I Don't Know Why I Don't Believe Him, Probably Because The People That I've Met, They Don't Act Like That When They Say Stuff Like That And Mean It.

When You Go And You Tell A Studio And That It's An Ensemble, That Doesn't Mean A Lot To Them. But, My Hats Off To Paramount And Warner Brothers, Because When We Told Them That These Were The Kinds Of People That We Want To Get, Across The Board, They Were Unbelieveably Enthusiastic About It.

Entertainment Has To Come Hand In Hand With A Little Bit Of Medicine. Some People Go To The Movies To Be Reminded That Everything's Okay. I Don't Make Those Kinds Of Movies. That, To Me, Is A Lie. Everything's Not Okay.

I Don't Know How Much Movies Should Entertain. To Me I'm Always Interested In Movies That Scar. The Thing I Love About Jaws Is That I've Never Gone Swimming In The Ocean Again.
