- (after receiving the ACLU Humanitarian and Visionary award in 2001) To me, it's about storytelling. Whatever genre. Anything, even an action movie; sure there's an explosion, but after the BANG what's the first thing you want to know? What happened to the people? Who was hurt, who was killed? That's not just humanitarian. That's good storytelling.
- (talking about story) "I'm always amazed when I read a bad script that someone is moving forward on. People are quick to throw money at you, and it's hard to say no. But it'd be a whole lot harder to direct that. To tell a story that wasn't good enough yet. Or have characters that aren't defined enough yet. Story and character is much harder than you think, but it's always worth it."
