I feel profoundly blessed. I feel it's a great privilege to make any motion picture.

I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.

The director is the channel through which a motion picture reaches the screen.

Motion pictures have had a tremendous effect on the world. They have personally helped me grow as a person, see worlds and listen to music beyond my imagination and escape reality.

A dream is a still picture until you put it in motion and it becomes reality.

I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do.
