There's no shame in being romantic at all. I think people want to feel that sense of romance, which is rarely even attempted anymore.
I think living things can recognize the movement of other living things, and all the best animators in the world can't quite capture that something.
I read certain articles about how all of the new filmmakers are immediately being given massive tentpoles, and there's a lot of original movies that we have now lost as a result of this. I don't want to call it a fad because I think it's a good thing. I think the movies are better as a result.
I love the kind of movies I watched when I was a kid. But, I also love telling great stories.
I don't know if I wanted to be Spielberg; I would never say that.
There's scary stuff in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' There's some really nasty skeletons and dead bodies.
I prefer to be scared in a way that a 12-year-old would want to be.
I can say pretty confidently that I am not the right guy to do a superhero movie, just because I was not a comic book kid. I don't know that mythology, and I don't have it ingrained in me in the way that a lot of these other directors do.
I feel like, whatever movie I was making, there would always be moments of human intimacy and insight into a little bit of what makes us tick as people.
My wife is French, and so I get to see America through her eyes, which informs a lot of little moments. It means I can poke fun at very particular things about us.
Three 'Jurassic Park' movies isn't enough! You want more!
In a movie that's sort of a single monster movie, like 'Jaws,' once you see the animal, it identifies the threat, and you're able to start working on ways to take down the threat.
I learned on film at NYU. I was probably the last generation that was analog. Anyone who was a year younger than me, it was probably all digital.
Michael Giacchino is a fiercely creative musical mind and a true 'Jurassic Park' fan.
'Jurassic Park' doesn't belong to America; it belongs to the whole world.
I'm in a kind of weird position where I want to prove that I can do smaller movies.
I'm very interested in 3D.
Big, big movies are in 3D, but we haven't reached a point yet where that's just what a movie is.
I would just encourage people: your childhood belongs to you, and don't give anyone, especially me, the power to ruin your childhood.
Where I live, in Vermont, there's this thing that women know about men, which is this disease: their childhood was so idyllic that nothing in the rest of their life can ever be satisfying. It's almost a plague.
