There is a fascination about crime, which is understandable, but hardly anyone talks about the families of victims of violent crime and the devastation that is beyond the victim alone.

After "Jack Reacher" the parts I didn't like, most of it was silly.

I'm very, very curious about how people live under the volcano, how they handle the permanence of danger.

It's not far-fetched that almost everywhere in the world where you have volcanoes you have mythologies or new gods being created.

I'm not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together.

In a way, I managed to get the deepest things, the best things out of people. That's why I'm a filmmaker. If you don't have it in you, you'd better do something else.

I have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It's a dream of mine to go there, but it's such a volatile area, you have to be prudent.
