I'm interested in doing movies I wouldn't normally be interested in doing.

I've been directing more and more the last few years, I find it an enjoyable challenge.

I have several dogs and several cats who aren't really mine. In fact, they think that I am theirs. I'd like to have some goats and chickens, but I travel around too much.

To this day I over prepare. I draw storyboards for every scene - chicken scratches so crude that they amuse and horrify the crew. I send out shot lists, act out the scenes, and search for a theme that I can relate to. It's my favorite time of the process.

It's hard not to get a big head in the film industry, there are people on a set paid to cater to your every need, from the minute you arrive until you go home. It's kind of strange, but not unpleasant.

On the other hand, I would've been exceedingly rich, which would've been wonderful!

Let's not kid ourselves here, robots already run most of our world. We'll be their butlers soon enough.
