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!

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.
I didn't grow up watching detective shows. I've never even seen an episode of 'CSI.'
