I never really think of something in terms of what not to do. It's always what's appealing or what's cool.

I think naturally I'm a very visual kind of person. If I wasn't in filmmaking, I'd be in something related to visuals. And I used to actually work as a visual-effects artist.

I never think of things rationally or intellectually. I swear, every single decision I make is just instinct and my instincts tend to be accurate.

Generally speaking, it's a very hard thing to wrap your head around that a drone operator in Nevada can be releasing munitions in the Middle East.

I think that 'Elysium' the movie is unrealistic, with the space station and everything. I think 'Elysium' the metaphor is completely realistic: it's exactly where we're going.

I think the world of 'District 9' has a lot of race and oppression-based ideas that I would still like to explore in that world.

I do think that it's always okay to show too little. People will still be interested. So why show too much?
