The story being told in ‘Star Wars’ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again.

Heroes come in all sizes, and you don’t have to be a giant hero. You can be a very small hero.

Everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives Picture Quote #1

The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film - whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture - so you have something to make a movie about.

If I make a movie that has a whole bunch of music in it, I get to listen to the music all day long, and I don’t have to say, ‘Well, I gotta go back to work and I gotta stop listening to the music.’ I get to listen to music and go to work Picture Quote #1
