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

Directing a movie precludes me from being involved in any greater way. But, the job was never to do more, it was always to enable. Sometimes as a producer, you're creating and writing it, or sometimes you're writing and directing it, or other times you're there from the very beginning.

I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.

Stories in which the destruction of society occurs are explorations of social fears and issues that filmmakers, novelists, playwrights, painters have been examining for a long time.

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

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.
