I'm very competitive. I just go with what engages or fascinates me in my work and that's it. I have no definition; I just love to do it.

Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it.

But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.

I do a pretty good job at casting actually.

I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It's a great movie.

Everyone sniggered because I was going to do a sandal and toga movie. But I knew exactly how to do it and I know how to make Robin Hood.

When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
