While we can't turn off the aging gene, we do go to a lot of extremes to stay young, I've noticed.

A schizophrenic war is not an easy thing to deal with.

Nine out of 10 war victims die from a gun.

I lived in England for a long time, and even the English didn't think me as one of theirs. In America I'm not really accepted. In New Zealand now, I don't think they even think of me as a New Zealander.

My first obligation is to entertain but as far as science fiction goes, it's much easier to comment on today from another time because people then aren't focused on 'did you get the details right?' It's sort of a Trojan horse approach to ideas because it's wrapped in the future, it's wrapped in action, thriller.

It's always interesting for me that people vote against their interests.

I make movies. I'm not in politics.
