Conductor/composer John Williams was honored at the Kennedy Center last weekend.
Mr. Spielberg led the celebration of Mr. Williams' composing career by recalling the duo's long partnership.
"John's music can make the tears fall," Mr. Spielberg said, "scores guaranteed to make you use a whole box of Kleenex.
"Sometimes, I think the reason I work so much is to keep him writing for my films," said Mr. Spielberg, who teamed with the composer on many major films, from "Jaws" to "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial."
The gala will be broadcast Dec. 21 on CBS.
