It's about human imagination and curiosity. What's out there? What's in the great beyond? What exists at levels we can't see with our five senses?

I don't look at scripts. I just write them.

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

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success.

I'm certainly not a fan of conversion when you could shoot the movie in 3-D.

So my message is in whichever realm, be it going into space or going into the deep sea, you have to balance the yin and yang of caution and boldness, risk aversion and risk taking, fear and fearlessness. No great accomplishment takes place, whether it be a movie or a deep ocean expedition, or a space mission, without a kind of dynamic equipoise between the two. Luck is not a factor. Hope is not a strategy. Fear is not an option.
