I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.

I absolutely am a big Call of Duty fan. Every time a new Call of Duty comes out – I never play the games online, but I play the solo version super fast. My family knows not to interrupt me the day they come out, they know it's a sacred date for me. I think my favorite visually, of all of the Call of Duty games -- even if it's not as sassy and high tech -- is World at War because. That game has some really incredible episodes in Berlin and the Japanese fields. It's really quite arresting for me, visually, and it was very immersive. But I love Modern Warfare, too.

I think Hollywood has a habit of developing 100 times more than they actually shoot.

For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made

I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books, but I'd love to do one where one of the kids dies, or one of the main characters dies. I love for those things to have a little bit more tragedy.

I think when you get all the money and all the freedom, rarely do you get a good movie out of it or a movie that you're proud of.

I love the creation of these things — I love the sculpting, I love the coloring. Half the joy is fabricating the world, the creatures.
