A lot of the futuristic space stuff seemed to me to be a very cool form of science-fiction, so that was my first real baptism in the genre.

I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.

It is not for the gods to decide whether or not Man exists - it is for Man to decide whether or not the gods exist.

I am a huge zombie fan. I have probably seen the George Romero movies 100 times each, without exaggeration.

I have friends in different parts of the world, and they'll all go online at the same time and all pull up a movie and hit play, at the same moment, and then they'll comment to each other about it. They're sharing an experience, even though they're on different parts of the planet.

Life isn't about the final moments, it's about the journey, it's about process. What makes Rocky work as a movie is seeing him working his way up from the streets to the arena and the fight of his life. You could just show that fight, and it would be great, but seeing that journey illuminates that fight and adds profound meaning to it.

My philosophy: find what it is you want to say, walk in the room, say it, and get the hell out.
