[Murray] never pushes anything. ... The smallest reactions are so expressive and complete. People are saying Murray has gone into this other mode -- 'He's looking for this other part of himself.' I think he's been looking for that all along.

So if too many people like my films, I might get scared and think I did something wrong. Honestly.

More times than not people come up to me after the show saying that I helped better their understanding of grizzlies. The more information people have about the bears, the less fearful they'll be.

I like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what we're really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting.

I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.
