To me, one of the main things that a director does is create the tone of his movie.

You want to do something, you want to have the bravery to do something original. And there will always be people who are like, the classicists who are like, 'No, but it's got to have this.' In life, there are people like that attached to every single thing that there is. These are the same people that are like, still playing vinyl.

The oceans are pretty unexplored places and the final frontier on our planet; also because they're the source of life. There are dramatic things happening to them at the moment, and they're worth exploring.

I like to work as an actor. Not just for money, but because I really enjoy acting.

If you go in and audition for roles rather than just be offered them, then you kind of get a chance to kind of discover that you can do something that you didn't think you could do.

I tend to lose my performance energy the longer things go on for, so I'm always best on the very first take.

Im okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better.
