I am me. I have to define myself. I'm going to stand up at the back of the train and take control of my future.

I came to success very late in life.

Actors are such wonderful creatures and such wonderful instruments. It's always different on the page, or in my head. I hear it differently. I see it differently. And then, you give it to an actor and it comes alive, in a way that you didn't expect.

I'm not well-versed in the science fiction world. I'm hoping that I'll get more opportunities in it because you get to create a new world.

I certainly like the actor to have as much lee-way as possible. In the same way that director Bong was generous enough to let me create, you have to do that for actors, as well, and let them use the tools they have, and part of that is their own brains and their own words.

It's like having children. You give birth, but then they take on a life of their own. That's what actors do for characters. It's pretty amazing.

I am me. I have to define myself. I'm going to stand up at the back of the train and take control of my future.
