Real Life Quotes
| • |
[on Steven Spielberg] Spielberg isn't a filmmaker; he's a confectioner. |
| • |
I was the person who brought Mars Attacks! to the attention of the studio. They were bubblegum cards I had as a kid. I developed Mars Attacks! with Jon Davison, the producer of RoboCop, for quite a while, but at some point my project got shut down and it was given to Tim Burton. It was a bit of a shame, but I think both the script that I wrote and the Tim Burton one suffered from not being enough like the bubblegum cards. |
