Everybody's going to do the 3D slightly differently the same way that people are going to deal with color differently. Some movies downplay the color, some color is very vibrant. Color design is very different. We've got to think of 3D like color or like sound, as just part of the creative palette that we paint with and not some whole new thing that completely redefines the medium.

I always do makeup touch-ups myself, especially for blood, wounds, and dirt. It saves so much time.

I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.

Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality.Don't put limitations on yourself.Others will do that for you.

I don't just want to be associated with a few good 3D movies and the audience is saying all of the other ones are crap.

I mean, you have to be able - you have to have made the commitment within yourself to do whatever it takes to get the job done and to try to inspire other people to do it, because obviously the first rule is you can't do it by yourself.

With 'Avatar,' I thought, Forget all these chick flicks and do a classic guys' adventure movie, something in the Edgar Rice Burroughs mold, like John Carter of Mars - a soldier goes to Mars.
