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.

Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.

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.

We are creating a fabulous franchise with an incredible female action hero.

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

As a director, you try to find what is creative.
