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

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

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.

We're all complex human beings, and if some of that complexity shows through, I think it's advantageous for the movie.

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

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