| 1. | Animals... don't have a sense of time. You just have to do things over and over with animals until they happen to do it right because they don't really know what you want. |
|
| 2. | As a viewer, I get really, really tense. I mean, I find it hard to watch. I'm really easy prey for a suspense movie. |
|
| 3. | Did I get jiggy with Will? I would have to say no! Did I have fun with Will? I would have to say yeah! But you know, I did not jig with the man, if you know what I'm saying! |
|
| 4. | I didn't do a lot of the robot stuff, I was fortunate enough to work with a lot of human beings like Will Smith. |
|
| 5. | I do a lot of serious stuff, but I'm not a very serious guy. |
|
| 6. | I get along with animals pretty well, just the same as I do with kids. I like kids. |
|
| 7. | I think on some level, that's a fear that exists in everybody, that if we're tested, we won't make the courageous choice. We won't make the decision that would make us heroic. We make the decision that would reveal us to be all too human. |
|
| 8. | I was taken to the ground by a 100-pound baby zebra and kicked mercilessly. I was showing it too much love. I held it a little bit too tight. They don't like to be held tightly. |
|
| 9. | I was thinking about doing another film at the same time, which was the sequel to Basic Instinct and I just had a feeling that wasn't going to happen. You know, I just kind of read the writing on the wall. |
|
| 10. | I'm just a husband waltzing in the background. |
|
| 11. | If you don't pay attention and if your imagination isn't pretty much engaged, you're going to miss things and you're going to miss opportunities for it to be as compelling and as creepy as it can be. |
|
| 12. | It's just like any relationship, the more contained the environment, the more the good stuff appears and the more the bad stuff will reveal itself. |
|
| 13. | Racing Stripes was so much fun to do. It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a couple years. |
|
| 14. | When they discover I have a green card there may be some problems. |
|
| 15. | When we shot Racing Stripes in Africa, we lived in an old Dutch farmhouse. It was a 100 year-old farmhouse and it was a stud farm, so it was surrounded by purebred horses, and at night you would hear monkeys in the trees. |
|
| 16. | With a contained environment, there is the promise of friction. And that is where the drama comes from. |
|
| 17. | You kind of invite a little spooky, creepy vibe into your whole experience of making a movie. |
|
| 18. | You walk into the Oval Office and it's perfect-all the archival footage that we've all seen and suddenly it's in color and three dimensional and bam! |
