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

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

You say something bad about Newsies and you have an awful lot of people to answer to.

I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.

Any planning that I have in my career is totally accidental really.

I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.

I'll find myself having dinner with people and someone will mention something and I will say I was in that situation once. Then I'll say, forget it, it was a scene I was in. That can get to be quite confusing.
