I had very little involvement with 'TinTin'. Very little involvement. So I can't really elaborate on that either.

The greatest directors are the greatest users. They use people's talents to tell the story that they want to tell.

It's great to be recognized for work, and the work is great, but once you have the awards, it becomes less important. It just gives you the ability to do better work, in my opinion.

Very few people make exterior movies anymore. It's always action films driven by action and quick editing.

There are films that are difficult. There are films that would actually affect your personal life because of the length of the production, how long [you're away] from the family.

If you take away 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan', I like 'Minority Report' a lot.

["War Horse"] does have action as well, but we allow the audience to appreciate the environment where these characters are from because the lens shapes the people, as we know.

It would be horrible to be micro-managed! I don't think directors can really micro-manage people. It's just impossible.

[I] love 'Munich', man. That's a very underappreciated film.

Really fantastic film, 'Munich'. So yeah, if I would say, what's the most underappreciated film, I think 'Munich' would be the one.

I just directed another picture called 'American Dream' with Nick Stahl. Just finished shooting principal photography right before I started ['Lincoln'].

Husband and wife have no time left to spend together. Marriage took away our one reason for getting married.

No subject is closer to my heart than the family . . . The moral foundation of our country is in danger of crumbling as families break up and parents neglect their responsibilities.

If you can win an argument by stretching your lips for a smile, why open your mouth and lose it.

The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang.

When it comes to climate, we can all make a big difference. At the most basic level, don't let denial go unchallenged and win the conversation on climate.

Comics are a gateway into literature.

Reading is a rendezvous with your soul.

I raised my right hand and placed my left on the Quran, which was being held by my wife and mom. Suddenly, I was blinded by a cascade of camera flashes.

There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.

Walls aren't put in our life to stop us, they are there to test how much we really want somthing.
