“I love 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'” — Kenneth Lonergan Quote

I love 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'

There's a lot of pressure on a film set that's more immediate than the pressure in the theater where you're nervous about what's going to happen next week.

Truthfully, and I don't mean to sound naive, but I don't know that much about the film business.

Very often what will happen between actors is that they'll develop kind of a ghost relationship in real life that reflects their relationship on screen or in the play that they're doing. In fact, I'd say that happens almost every time. I don't know why that happens, but it seems very common.

My favorite sci-fi movie of all time is 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'

I am interested in exploring encounters where worlds meet and not where they separate.

I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.

The dream of doing what I do started with watching movies by Mr. Spielberg, like 'Close Encounters,' 'Poltergeist,' and 'E.T.' That was the beginning of my obsession.

With 'Mutant Ninja Turtles,' I wanted to play a character who lives more in the real world, although yes, I grant you, he immediately encounters, um, turtles, of the teenage mutant ninja variety.
