I took business classes as a back up but I made movies all the time. I would get my classes done in two days and then spend the rest of the time making my movies. Dennis Muren Read Quote
I’ve done enough of this that I can tell early on if it’s going in the wrong direction or not. Dennis Muren Read Quote
I have never had trouble with any actor being able to visualise things. They are amazing. As long as you have your monster head on a long stick, so you can hold it up there and you can wave it around and let them see it and explain it to them, they are just great. Dennis Muren Read Quote
I think you’ve got to talk to the director, see the director’s films and recognise that it’s important that the work fits right in and see if as part of the movie. Dennis Muren Read Quote

But you don’t hire Ang Lee to do a typical children’s movie. But it’s such an interesting combination, whoever thought of getting Ang together with a comic book, that was just great. Dennis Muren Read Quote
I’m always reaching for something we really haven’t done, and War of the Worlds has a lot of this sort of documentary look to it and first-person camera view that is a new thing for me. I’ve done some stuff like that before, but nothing like the extent of this and digitally. Dennis Muren Read Quote
