June 12, 1992

Featured in: Patriot Games.

Best quote from the interview: "I don't think the executives ever stopped thinking of me in terms of action-adventures. But I kept turning them down because of their overweening violence or because they lacked ambition. I wanted to deal with ideas within the context of action."

August 19, 1994

Featured in: Clear and Present Danger.

Best quote from the interview: On Clear and Present Danger author Tom Clancy: "I think [Clancy's criticism] did hurt the film. I don't think it should have. It's inevitable that a book changes in bringing it to the screen. It's generally accepted by those professionals that have had some experience with the process. And if one doesn't want to submit to the process, the simple expedient is not to sell your stuff."

Frank Ockenfels

Featured in: Blade Runner 2049

Best quote from the interview: [When asked if the film settles the question of whether Deckard is a replicant or not]: "I can tell you that it was a question that was of interest to me when we made the first film, and I'm not sure I ever got a straight answer from the people I was working with at that point. I think the answer to your question is worth the price of admission."
