When I started the original 'Alien,' Ripley wasn't a woman, it was a guy.

When you think about it, 'Avatar' is almost completely an animated movie.

Choosing location is integral to the film: in essence, another character.

It is only by reflecting on the past that one can create a better future.

An old thing becomes new if you detach it from what usually surrounds it.

A long time ago, I stopped trying to look at projects as genre exercises.

I want to give up every single day of my life, but I can't. I'm obsessed.

If you lived through the shooting of Jaws, you can live through anything.
