The spirit that America has, the American industry creativity it has where anything is possible. Three idealistic Australians bringing in new ideas and being able to make the damn comic books that they've always dreamed about, it's kind of a cool thing.

I want a movie to be satisfying for an audience. That sense of having to get it done, no matter what cost, is what I like.

There's always gonna be criticisms, no matter what movie you do, no matter what. You can't please everybody, and it doesn't matter what the genre is. There's always gonna be a positive to a negative comment.

When I was in my 20s, I thought I knew who I was. And then as soon as I turned 30, I realized that I have bruises and bumps and dark parts. And you kind of go, well, that's it. I'd rather embrace it than force myself to change.

I didn't set out to be famous; if I'd wanted that, I would have gone on Big Brother.

Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream.

All you need in any industry is someone to back you, and Jim Cameron backed me up.
