Tom [Cruise] is a great producer himself. He's got great sense of story. It's always great to have the perspective of the person who's playing the character in your film.

I love movies that ask big questions but don't necessarily answer everything. I like people walking out thinking about something.

I heard, one of my producers told me this story where like the Hollywood studios brought all these high-end consultants in to try to figure out how to improve their process and make films more efficiently, and these consultants like studied the process for years and finally came up with this report they put together about how studios can improve the efficiency of their process, and the conclusion was "have the script ready by the time you're shooting.

Technology can do amazing things for us. It's something we need to keep an eye on.

I've said it would have to be our Empire Strikes Back for me to come back and for me to pull the whole team back together. I think we do have that idea.

In a science fiction movie, the first act is a little longer than it is in most movies because there is so much world building to do.
