I bought a Yamaha-1 and I was doing 180 miles per hour home on the 405 and that's really, really crazy but I did it.

I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear.

You get dinged for wanting to do a comedy, then wanting to do a big-budget action film, and then wanting to do an indie. But you can't let other people trying to label you get in the way of trying to do something artistically.

I like fantasy. I like horror, science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.

I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

I'm very impressed with 'Drive.'
