I've always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another. It's not that they all get along, or that there aren't bad people or people we make fun of. But at the core, there's a kind of sweetness.

The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.

I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.

We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.

I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.

I love horror and sci-fi.

I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.
