It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have [in aliens]. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.

I want to make films about the human condition, what we're doing to the world or ourselves.

I don't ever blink, honestly.

Never be put off by anything because failure teaches you something.

I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!

I think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it`s 3% good, 97% stupid.

I think going into space would be like going deep into the ocean, like 5,000 meters down. When you go down that far, it's just awfully black. There's not much there except mud and some particles. I imagine space would be a similar thing. The only difference is you're hoping to bump into some sort of intelligent extraterritorial being.
