Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.

I loved history because to me history was like watching a movie.

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.

With any child entering adolescence one hunts for signs of health is desperate for the smallest indication that the child's problems will never be important enough for a television movie.

So I decided to move that scene in the doctor's office to two-thirds into the movie after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.

But if you believe in Christ and that your main goal with your life is supposed to be to honor Him and do His will then you don't have as much pressure as someone who bases all their happiness on whether they're a movie star.

Oh I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. You went to the movies then you saw two movies and a short. When Mickey Mouse came on the screen and there was his big head my sister said she had to hold onto me. I went berserk.

If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies they get frightened - as if somebody was trying to demote them.

I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.

No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.
