In the real world, if you're in a car chase, you're going to hit a million things and your car is going to end up a total wreck by the end.

If I'm not in love with the script, there's nothing. It doesn't matter what you give me. It has to start with the script.

I think making a great action movie is one of the hardest cinematic endeavors. By definition, smart characters avoid action. Smart people don't go down dark alleys, but if you're making an action movie and you want to have an action sequence, somehow you have to get that character into that dangerous situation.

TV has no choice, but to rely on character, and everybody knows that. I love working in it. It's such a big canvas where, if you're successful, you go on for years.

I think when the United States of America put a man on the moon in 1969, that was one of the greatest accomplishments mankind has ever done.

The movie I end up with is the movie I aspired to make.

In particular, I'm drawn to the stories that have big, high concepts and real characters at their heart. And I love where those two worlds meet, and 'Edge of Tomorrow' is the perfect canvas to explore that.
