I collect imported teas, I have a few cupboards full! It's like wine, each has it's own flavour and you get into their little nuances.

I think sci-fi films have become rather bleak, and understandably so - I think we've made some big mistakes globally with how we're developing, and we deal with that guilt by creating these very dystopian futures in films.
