[? The new take: Although the] Transformers ... (The movie) is going to be really steeped in tradition, but it makes way for a newer line of toys. |
[Next year he has plans to play eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes in a Scorsese-directed biopic. Fame] forced him to go away longer than he ever wanted to, ... Hopefully he'll make up for the lost time. |
A lot of the films I've made probably could have worked just as well 50 years ago, and that's just because I have a lot of old-fashion values. |
All I have to do is pose for a picture and I'm getting married to the person standing next to me. |

I don't think this collection of films represent everything. We're not delivering a shared point of view. These movies are all so different from each other. We all look at a movie through a prism of everything our parents and teachers taught us and what our children are telling us. You can't make a movie expecting everyone will have the same reaction. Ten people seeing 'Munich' will come out with 10 different points of view. It was always that way, sitting around the Passover table talking about the Middle East. |
I dream for a living. |
I expected to see a party animal who was going to reap harvest with all the girls on the set. I found the opposite. Leo is a homebody. |
I feel like I've been engaged to the British Empire since 1980 and tonight you have given me the ring [knighthood]. |

I hate that people think it's wrong to say you're inspired by Jaws or by Raiders Of The Lost Ark. You're allowed to be. |
