Personally, my interests are ancient history and ancient civilizations. In my own life, I'd like to go to places like Easter Island.

'Knowing' is one of those movies where you're going to get the spectacle, and you're going to have the entertainment in the grand science fiction tradition. But also, it will perhaps stimulate some discussion to help you sort out on your own where you might choose to go in terms of your own needs. Now, I say that without preaching.

Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.

I loved 'Fantasia' as a kid because it filled me with wonder, enchantment and awe. It was my first real introduction into classical music. It was totally inspiring to me.

I want people to discover my movies, and however they choose to receive it is their business.

All of my characters have a glint of madness.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.
