'Dredd' was a weird, little, out-of-the-blue thing for me.

I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career.

I look at someone like Kathryn Bigelow, and I have so much admiration. She's playing in the boy's sandpit, and winning.

With fantasy and sci-fi, it's based in a real fandom. You're presenting to experts, and their source material is really important to them.

I was obsessed with vampires when I was 13 or 14.

People do seem to think that I'm going to be some wicked witch, and then they're always surprised to find out I'm just a little clumsy nerd.

Sometimes it's a bizarre, fairly cold, and horrifying thing to be a parent.
