I can't impress people with the pedigree of obscure French filmmakers that got me into film. It was Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg. I really thought I wanted to make dumb action movies.

Nothing I've done is like anything else I've done before.

It turns out that it's easier to do politics in a movie. People really don't want it in their TV.

From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on 'Jumper' was done 'Swingers'-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.

I'm very interested in politics, and I feel TV is a more political medium than film.

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.
