For me, the question was, how can one take a live-action performance and put it in the parameter of one of those cartoons? How much can you get away with?

In terms of it being a first screenplay, literally, my hat is off to him [Wally Pfister]. I didn't see any virgin blather in screen direction, or anything like that. It was just a wonderfully executed piece, and a complicated one. The mathematics involved in putting this film together, between Jack and Wally, and the great support of Alcon, it was not a easy little operetta.

Keep moving forward and do what you have to do for you.

And because technology is moving so rapidly, things become obsolete very, very quickly. In 15 years time, Will Caster is probably going to be in some weird room in Vegas where people are plugging quarters into him. Who has a mini-disc of a laser disc player? It's over!

What happens to me when I read a script, when something grabs hold of me, I start getting these flashes of people or places or things or images.

As a child, I certainly had a fascination with monsters and vampires.

Every time I stand in front of mirror, I found my face too ugly, so I thought I have to get the role in some movies which cover my face with make up.
