I think mostly it's the adventure that I will have in making the movie. That's what I look for.

Directors go their whole career without being able to tell personal stories and to work with a cast as talented as they are.

How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.

I'm not really into musicals.

'3:10 to Yuma' was one that I just kept on talking and thinking about after reading it. And I think the reason is because, like in most Westerns, you have the very clear-cut bad-guy/good-guy, however, as the movie progresses, you kind of see that it's a very fine line that divides these two.

Certainly I have no attraction to misery. I don't intentionally go for dark.

There's a level of confidence in the actor you're working with that really helps a lot. It makes all the difference.
