Sometimes there's a disjoint between what works on the page and what works with visual story telling.

Life and career kind of catches up with you.

I want to do my Blade Runner, which is like a future Berlin film, which is like a thriller, but it's much deeper characters, I think.

One of the biggest changes for me on a practical level of shooting the film was having a second unit.

I think I was brought up with games and I don't think that they're just Pac-Man or Space Invaders. I think we've moved on, I think that there are stories being told and worlds being explored.

Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I'm working with or whatever interests me at that particular time.

I want to have the illegitimate child of independent film making and the budget to make it. That's my aspiration.

I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.

Fantasy films tend to skew towards what Tolkien fantasy was, which is that the humans, the Hobbits and the cute creatures are the good guys, and everything that's ugly are the bad guys.

I think that idea of being far away from the people that you love is something that everyone can relate to.

I'm a cruel man to myself.

I doubt love can do little else, if it cannot bring back people back from the dead.

And that's my comfort--that someone else was there and experienced the same thing. How else could I know it was real and not merely a dream?

The United States and Mexico are trapped - economically, culturally, politically and because of drug crime - in the same continent.

One of the biggest differences between liberalism and conservativism these days, is that conservativism isn't what conservativism should be, and liberalism is what liberalism ought not to be.

What are you afraid of? You are an immortal being. You are neither a man nor a woman, as you may think, but a soul - joyous, eternal.

Everywhere we look, technology has changed our daily lives - from the way we pay our bills, to the way we buy plane tickets or keep in touch with friends and family.

What matters is not your outward appearance. . . but your inner disposition. Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle gracious kind that God delights in.

Big budgets don't necessarily give you big films.

I've been in politics long enough to expect criticism and hostility. But I was unprepared for the hatred I get from Christians. Why do Christians hate so much?.
