When I did 'E.T.,' it sort of solidified the only family I know are these film crews. These gypsies. These filmmakers. That was the solidification and the clicking revelations of 'This is what I want to do with my life and this is where I'm going to survive.'

I did love horror films from the '70s and '80s. That was my sweet spot.

I've always wanted to work with Hugh [Grant] because I loved his movies.
