Steven Spielberg on Frank Abagnale
← Back to Steven Spielberg Profile
“I did not make this film about Frank Abagnale because of what he did . . but because of what he has done with his life the past 30 years.”
“His chutzpah and his imagination in the scams and stings he pulled off were so imaginative and so courageous. Amazing. I loved the fact that he could pull off all of those professions. In a way, he's sort of the anti-hero that you root for, even though you know he's going to have to pay a price and go to jail”
