Really, if I'm honest, sci-fi is where my sensibility instinctively goes - I'm a big comic-book fan.

I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.

I like the sensibility of Australian film a lot and the crews are fantastic. Great characters, wonderful people and no line between - I think in Hollywood they have this line between actors and crew a lot, and that just didn't exist, which I really appreciated.

I got quite cross when I heard about Emma Thompson adapting 'Sense and Sensibility.' It was absolutely childish of me, but I thought, 'I should be doing that. They didn't even ask me.' Some mistake, surely.

I love comic books. I just do.

It seems like they make every comic book into a film. 'Watchmen' is my favorite of all time.

I think that's what I love about writing, is the ability to try to, in a sense, take a vacation from yourself and try to enter the sensibility of another time, another character, another place.

I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.
