Personally I am very much against the death penalty for several reasons.
I like being in a collaborative and respectful environment. When you're in an environment spearheaded by ego and fear, it's the death of creativity.
What's upsetting about an autobiography is that the final chapter is always missing. I mean, you want the death, don't you?
Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.
I made four films on John F. Kennedy, filmed when he was running for office, in office, and after his death.
I've had various people close to me die, and I don't necessarily find the idea of death purely depressing.
When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort, but I don't like to diet and I'm not good at it.
The very effect of the education they were given... was to make men think; and, thinking, they became less and less satisfied with the miserable pays they received.
God has stated in clear and concise language how He created the universe and we ought not to doubt His Word.
Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
Can anybody be given a great degree of creativity? No. They can be given the equipment to develop it-if they have it in them in the first place.
Britain produces great actors because they learn on stage so know their stuff when they get on a movie set.
Just because people play songs with great technique doesn't mean the records are better.
It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.
The most important thing for a good marriage is to learn how to argue peaceably.
You can understand why good publicists go on to run distribution companies: because the creativity involved is complex and nuanced.
To me the most important thing is a good story, though I know how cliche that sounds.
There are as many great superhero movies as there are comedies and dramas and cartoons. People just want to see good movies.
Good history is a question of survival. Without any past, we will deprive ourselves of the defining impression of our being.
I don't know why my pictures come out looking so good. I just don't get it.
You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.
