I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.

The spy genre is something which, as a fan of movies, a movie geek myself, I just love that cinematic joy that they bring.

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

Once you've lived the inside-out world of espionage, you never shed it. It's a mentality, a double standard of existence.

Look realistically at espionage thrillers again. They're not only alive, readers are excited about them.

I've always had a great affection for espionage stories. I like weaving them, and I like thrillers.

My perception of making a movie before I started making movies was that it would be like 'Spy Kids'.

As soon as I know it's about technological things or spies, I lose interest. I want to know what goes on in people's minds.

'I Spy' represents the absence of the tension of the black man or black woman or anyone of that color walking in, so that the white racist person can become entertaining to a viewer.
