I Guess I Have A Short Attention

A Lot Of The Films I Like Are More Than Fantasies - They're Movies Fascinated By The Technology Of Space Exploration, And They Try To Honor The Laws Of Physics. I Watched The Gregory Peck Movie 'marooned' Over And Over When I Was A Kid.

A Budget Is Not An Issue. I Mean A Budget Is Used If You Need More Weeks Or More Time Or More Elements, But The Creative Process Is Exactly The Same. In Some Instances You Become More Of A Boss When You Are Doing A Small Movie. So That Is Not So Relevant. The Only Thing Is That The Bigger A Movie Is In Terms Of Budget, Is That There Are More People Giving Opinions.

I'm Very Aware That The Future Of Any Film Is Not Necessarily The Theatrical Experience, It's The Home Video Experience Because That Is The One That Is Going To Be Presented For Years To Come. So You Want To Make Sure That You Push Your Movie, But You're Talking About A Movie That You Finished Months Ago. And Your Head Is Trying To Move Into New Grounds And You're Still Pushing For The Other One. That's The Tough Element Of It.

It's A Cliche, But Americans Are Puritanical. In Their Movies, They Are Scared Of Sex, But They Overindulge In Violence. I Could Have Cut A G-rated Version Of 'y Tu Mama Tambien' That Would Have Pleased The American Ratings Board, But It Would Have Been Five Minutes Long.

Historically, There Is A Fight Between The Sound Designer And The Composer. You See Them In The Mixing Room And They're Always Fighting Because The Composer Wants The Music To Be Heard And The Sound Designer Wants The Sound To Be Heard.
