What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity.

But fundamentally, I don't think of it as an alien-invasion movie; everybody's here, kind of, right? So, I think it's probably more of an action-adventure picture, if I actually had to qualify it.

I'm not looking for is the audience going to like it [the film during the first screening] or not. I want to hear somebody try to poke a hole in it. I want to hear why they saw the logic was flawed or why that scene was not believable.

It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.

As a producer, I try to bring as many nice people as I can to insure that there's no screaming, there's no shouting, there's no bullying. The more of those kind of people that you can bring together, the better the experience everyone has on set.

What I can't figure out is why we're not making more R-rated movies, actually.

My experience is that you can't possibly win against whatever the tidal wave is that's coming at you.
