I think the audience would like to see movies that are stunning to watch. I really think they'd like to see spectacles.

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.

Summer movies are spectacles; that's what you pay 10 dollars to see. You want to get teased by effects sometimes. I think that will never stop.

It's always an enormous pressure when you do a sequel. The demands are so high, and it's expensive.

I really believe action will always be there and will never disappear.

Lara Croft is such a strong individual, she's very driven, she doesn't need a man, she's speaks her own mind, and that she's in control of her own life. It's a lot of what women want and have.

This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.
