I always say that, if you have great actors and great storytelling and great monsters, and you mix them together, nine times out of 10, it explodes in your face.

When a movie succeeds, it takes me to another world where I don't think about it and I'm just immersed.

I really had the right nose for making the right decisions, in terms of which projects to do and which projects to stay away from. The people that I ended up becoming very close to in my career are the guys who inspire me.

There is something really so iconic about the original Predator, and it is exciting. It's not just special effects. It's not like you bring a puppet in, these are characters and so we were involved in developing the look and the attitude of all the characters.

I always say that, if you have great actors and great storytelling and great monsters, and you mix them together, nine times out of 10, it explodes in your face.

I love the expression 'makes your skin crawl,' because when you have that sensation while you're watching something, it really does.

As a movie fan, my number one goal is to continue to learn from what I've done and make special effects as precise and clean as they can be.
