So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.
What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.
The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work.
I'd love to make a sequel to 'The Rocketeer.' The film didn't do as well at the box office as we all hoped, but it has endured and generated a following.
I think Johnny Depp could play just about any role - I'd love to see what he would do with the Red Queen!
I don't watch TV, so I feel like I'm left out of the American fabric or something.
I think one of the privileges of being a filmmaker is the opportunity to remain a kind of perpetual student.
My advice to young film-makers is this: don't follow trends, start them!
I made some mistakes in drama. I thought the drama was when actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries.

I think that the thing that is really strong with 'The Hunger Games' is just that it comes from a very strong idea.
There are two separate scripts for 'Mockingjay' parts one and two. It's definitely one story, but there are two totally distinct and separate scripts.
A modern man registers a hundred times more sensory impressions than an eighteenth-century artist
A 'live' show is either alive or not. Free speech is free or it is not. Viewers are free to use their remote or TiVo. Parents are responsible or they are not.
The film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has.
The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary.
I got into a fight with Walt Disney: I always pick the wrong people to fight with.
It is reassuring for people to feel they have a boss, someone who knows the answers and has charted the course.
We've all been tired and thought we wanted a long vacation when all we needed was a few days off, but didn't know it.
The lines marking a penalty area are a disgrace to the playing fields of a public school.
