Using my imagination and creativity is exciting to me.

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.

I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.

The bad guys are not typical, they are not just bad, they are interesting. They might be good or bad.

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

When I heard about the first Tomb Raider, I was very interested and I would have liked to have directed that. When I was approached for the second film, I was delighted.

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