It was the television that turned me to film. My parents did take me to Pete's Dragon.

The only thing I'll say, and I'm sure everyone says this, is stick with it. I'm not shy about telling people about the fact that my dream was to go to USC film school when I was growing up in New Jersey. I got rejected five times. You just keep going, keep going, keep going.

Once that Gauntlet is on, as the poster of Doctor Strange says, "the impossibilities are endless."

Sometimes you can have a great scene but it just doesn't need to be in the movie. If it's not progressing the plot, not progressing the story, not adding to the momentum, or if it's not purposefully serving a breath - it has got to go.

We have audiences that seem to be embracing whether they've heard of the characters or not.

I think [Doctor Strange] it is - it does tap into a supernatural type of genre that is not horror.

I do think we've looked at this film [Doctor Strange] not with any direct genre comparison but as a play on the supernatural genre. Certainly more so than we've done in the past, which is what makes his journey from person that doesn't wear a cape to person who does wear a cape - cloak, much more unique than we've seen in the past.
