I do a pretty good job at casting actually.

I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.

Some actors - you work with them once and don't even think about working with them again.

I think I was really bored at school. I was quietly clock watching for years. I went to 10 schools because my dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot.

I knew exactly what to do on Alien, it was funny.

I spend a lot of my time just developing material; or the company does. That material can come from a book, can come from a newspaper, can come from a discussion and sometimes it can come from a script that got passed over and is floating around.

I think moviemakers are dramatists.
