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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Using my imagination and creativity is exciting to me.
