I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds, other environments. For me, it was fantasy, but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism.

Any direct experience that I have with indigenous peoples and their plights may feed into the nature of the story I choose to tell. In fact, it almost certainly will.

James Cameron 151 quotes

I think people had somehow got...

I think people had somehow gotten the sense that we have explored everything, when that isn't the case. We so know so little about the ocean, and so much of it is being destroyed.

James Cameron 151 quotes

I try to live with honor, even...

I try to live with honor, even if it costs me millions of dollars and takes a long time. It's very unusual in Hollywood. Few people are trustworthy - a handshake means nothing to them. They feel they're required to keep an agreement with you only if you're successful or they need you.

James Cameron 151 quotes

I've tried not to get sucked into the Hollywood hierarchy system. Personally, I don't like it when people are deferential to me because I'm an established filmmaker. It's a blue-collar sensibility.

James Cameron 151 quotes

So much of literary sci-fi is ...

So much of literary sci-fi is about creating worlds that are rich and detailed and make sense at a social level. We'll create a world for people and then later present a narrative in that world.

James Cameron 151 quotes

The snake kills by squeezing very slowly. This is how the civilized world slowly, slowly pushes into the forest and takes away the world that used to be.

James Cameron 151 quotes

But failure has to be an optio...

But failure has to be an option in art and in exploration - because it's a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks....

I dreamed I was a soldier who could bring peace. Sooner or later, though, you always have to wake up.

James Cameron 151 quotes

Sometimes your whole life boil...

Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move.

That worst evil of long dictatorships: the loss of all political experience.

James Cameron 151 quotes

When Nikita Khrushchev wrapped...

When Nikita Khrushchev wrapped himself in the bloody mantle of the Czars he broke Hungary, he broke the little Communist parties over the western world, and he broke the hearts of many honest men who had trusted a little too far, a little too long.

James Cameron 151 quotes

Much of my life seems in retro...

Much of my life seems in retrospect to have been spent in the company of putative national leaders passing through the process of being denounced and imprisoned for sedition, as part of the inevitable progression towards the Prime Ministership and the ritual tea-party at Windsor Castle.

James Cameron 151 quotes

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Where else but in Texas would men set up to administer space?

James Cameron 151 quotes

The new world will be a place ...

The new world will be a place of answers and no questions, because the only questions left will be answered by computers, because only computers will know what to ask.

James Cameron 151 quotes

I do not know why journalists ...

I do not know why journalists insist on calling their stuff 'pieces', when they are in fact little entities, attempting to have beginnings, middles and endings.

James Cameron 151 quotes

Muslims shared many of the deep-seated characteristics of the Anglo-Saxon elite-an intuitive resentment of culture, an amicable contempt for women, a proclivity for riding about on horses, a pleasure in discipline, and a covert homophilia.

James Cameron 151 quotes

It was long ago in my life as a simple reporter that I decided that facts must never get in the way of truth.

James Cameron 151 quotes

I do an awful lot of scuba diving. I love to be on the ocean, under the ocean. I live next to the ocean.

James Cameron 151 quotes

Religions fulfill deep-seated ...

Religions fulfill deep-seated psychological needs for people, and if you don't get it from a specific religious doctrine, you'll get it from the kind of films I like to make. A film like The Terminator is consciously meant to give a sense of empowerment to the individual.
