I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'

It's ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won't even read science fiction books.

Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.

I believe when you're writing film or television, you can't rely on a crutch or rule that exists outside of the narrative of the film.

I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'

I like telling stories of imperfect people because most people are imperfect.
