“Spielberg isn't a filmmaker, he's a confectioner.”
Alex Cox
“A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer.”
Anton Chekhov
“It works for him [Steven Spielberg] because there's a child-like glee in it that's part of the whole process. It's not just dumb, it's dumb and inspired and gleeful . . .”
Harrison Ford
“It's just such an honor to say that I was in something by Steven Spielberg. I feel so blessed I got to meet such great people, and I got to go to a beautiful place, Vancouver, and I had a great time.”
Dakota Fanning
“Spielberg made movies the way they are today. Our list is aimed at naming the people who influenced the way we live today, not the best but the most influential.”
Walter Isaacson
“Spielberg certainly made the most superb movie; Peter was very pleased. But Peter kept telling people the book was fiction, it was a novel, and that he took no more responsibility for the fear of sharks than Mario Puzo took responsibility for the Mafia.”
Wendy Benchley
“I think it is a tragedy that a person of the stature of Steven Spielberg, who has made such fantastic films, should have based this film on a book that is a falsehood.”
