The most fun characters to work with are characters that are complicated.

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.

I just go with what excites me.

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

Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.

The greatest villain of all time is The Joker - he always has been, and I don't know anyone who's not going to have Heath Ledger's performance burnt into their brains for the rest of their lives.

This is what I do for fun - brainstorm about monsters!
