Sometimes diehard fans expect so much that they're never happy no matter what they get.

I've always believed that a good twist is one that, when it is presented to the audience, half of them say, 'I saw that coming.' And half of them are completely and totally shocked. Because if you don't have the half that saw it coming, then it wasn't fair: You never gave the audience a chance to guess it.

Star Wars' is a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. 'Star Wars' is not about our future.

I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.

Suffice it to say, there are some very big ideas in Prometheus and, therefore, it covers a very vast expanse of time.

Part of the fun of the movie is understanding exactly why we called it Prometheus. And also, it sounds really pretentious, like Inception, so we were just like, "Yeah, that makes the movie sound really smart!" It's so much better then my original title, Explosion. Well, there might be an explosion in the movie.

All great sci-fi is: Be careful what you wish for.
