I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.

My aim was not to fool. My aim was to provoke thought and stir emotion.

I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.

Definitely, my approach is me-oriented. I feel like my job is to safeguard the believability of the emotions of the character.

I have a very bad relationship with mice.

Sometimes in the middle of a presidential campaign, there's a political movie, and people are sick of hearing about politics, and they don't want to see that movie. They'd rather see "Godzilla."

I like to just keep the land within sight. Nowadays they can tell you if there's a storm three days out. So it's not much of a concern. But I've never been a big boat person. I don't spend a lot of time at sea.
