There's great wine from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and, of course, California. But there's nothing like a really great French wine, they're so well balanced. The better the wine, the less you feel the effects I think.

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

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.

The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

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.

It goes back a long way. I wanted to make Tristan + Isolde as my second movie. My first movie was The Duellists. And I was standing in a very romantic part of France looking around me thinking, "My God, this would be perfect for Tristan," and to cut a long story short it never happened because I did Alien instead.

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