Steven Spielberg

There's the only film that, it's not even a regret, but I did my friend George Lucas a favor, and I actually, we needed to move up the start date of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

I was all about to direct Rain Man,

Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise had already committed when they sent me the script.

I worked on the script with the writer Ron Bass for a while, and I was getting ready to make the movie in about five or six months, and I had to drop out to do Last Crusade instead, which I was previously obligated to do.

And that was the only fish that I felt got away.

And I love what Barry Levinson did with it.

I thought it was a great movie.

It stands the test of time.

It's still one of my favorite films.

I would certainly think that by whatever form they could, let's say, commune with our art.

Yeah.

or with that medium, whatever form they get, I'm sure it's not going to be a Blu-ray.

I'm not sure exactly.

I'm not sure the 1990s are going to go into a Blockbuster and get a Blu-ray, although that would be a great fodder for a good comedy that maybe Seth Rogen should make.

But I would think that had they seen E.T., this is only my conceited hope, they would have somehow made themselves known to me, and they didn't.

I've been waiting to see a UFO my entire life.

Well, gee...

Wouldn't that be neat?

Yeah, that would be lovely.

Wouldn't that be lovely?
