The great thing about the moon landing is that my grandmother got the first color TV in order to be able to see the moon landing that was in black and white.

When I finish a movie, I don’t ever see the movie again. The moment I finish the color correction and the mix, I never seen any of my movies ever again. I just try to explore what I can learn from the experience and move on.

I used to be very controlling with visuals and editing, and I would pretty much craft the performances; now I have learned to trust the material and the actors.

The amazing thing is that the more money it takes for a movie to get made, the more you feel like everybody wants you to fail.

A lot of the films I like are more than fantasies - they're movies fascinated by the technology of space exploration, and they try to honor the laws of physics. I watched the Gregory Peck movie 'Marooned' over and over when I was a kid.

I was not aware of how much I loved 'Canoa' until I saw it after doing 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and realized that my voice - over about the story's historical context - that narrator - came from 'Canoa'.

What's the point of being an Australian guy traveling through India if you are going to go to India to meet other Australians?
