That's kind of how I've based my career. I find talented people and beg me to let me work with them.

I love superheroes and I love weird horror films... I could definitely feel that there was a lack of movies like The Martian being made: smart genre movies that can appeal to adults.

All movies are alchemy and time is one of the ingredients that goes into the alchemy. You want the time to be right; you don't want to rush it. You need the right script, the right cast and the right feeling in the culture.

Everything I've ever worked on has been hard to classify.

The more work you put in on your outline and getting the skeleton of your story right, the easier the process is later.

We've always been a band who's taken forever to do things. After writing 'Persona' I think we wrote about four songs in three years!

What I'm looking for in my career, you know? You're looking for those lightning bolts of inspiration where someone says something that sparks an idea or suggests something strange.
