As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.

I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

I was just like, "I want to make a decent 2-D movie." I was so worried that, instead of being a decent 2-D movie, it would have been a bad 3-D one.

I think admitting youre an addict is the first step towards recovery.

I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.

I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.
