Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I'm working with or whatever interests me at that particular time.

Life and career kind of catches up with you.

I want to do my Blade Runner, which is like a future Berlin film, which is like a thriller, but it's much deeper characters, I think.

One of the biggest changes for me on a practical level of shooting the film was having a second unit.

I think I was brought up with games and I don't think that they're just Pac-Man or Space Invaders. I think we've moved on, I think that there are stories being told and worlds being explored.

I want to have the illegitimate child of independent film making and the budget to make it. That's my aspiration.

Sometimes there's a disjoint between what works on the page and what works with visual story telling.

I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.

Fantasy films tend to skew towards what Tolkien fantasy was, which is that the humans, the Hobbits and the cute creatures are the good guys, and everything that's ugly are the bad guys.

I think that idea of being far away from the people that you love is something that everyone can relate to.

I'm a cruel man to myself.

I know it's not easy for you, living this life, but try to remember, always try to remember, you're not the only one with troubles.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

A positive anything however small is something towards your goal. It's better than nothing.

The only way when your thirst for excellence is satisfied is when you take up the challenge to do a little more every day than you have already been doing every day!

By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent.

I have to trust what I do and then do it.

The only difference from one $100 million budget film to another is which of the 12 box stars are getting $20 million to be in it.

I think to be writer you have to enjoy being alone. I was a loner as a teenager and was always drawn to characters in books and films who were at the fringes.

The desire of gold is not for gold. It is not the love of much wheat, and wool and household stuff. It is the means of freedom and benefit.

The meek may inherit the earth, but they don't get in to Harvard.
