You don't want to go right, if everyone thinks you're going to go right. You go left, on purpose. Sometimes you can't explain why, and you can't explain what left looks like, but you just do it.

I was addicted to the original 'Star Trek' when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV.

My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard enough.

The first movie my dad ever showed me was Predator - I was five. And I think the second one was Jaws. I've has this understanding of fiction for a very, very long time but I've also had this thing where I've idolized the male action heroes because that's what I watched with my dad.

I do believe that there is something at the core of protecting your offspring - the love of a mother, you just don't get in the way of it.

The only way that a mother would go after her own children is if she's just completely gone and has no humanity.

Most people don't go to work and beat up a 13-year-old. It's a really freaky thing.
