The quality of CGI, audiences are now so used to it. They don't know what is CGI and what is real.

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

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

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.

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.

I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
