I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

I did this little movie I really love called 'Experimenter,' but that took six years to get made and no money.

I was quite academic, quite geeky when I was a kid. I was more interested in going to school than I was in becoming a film star or something.

As a kid, I was just writing scripts and taking whatever film classes I could in college.

I was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California. Little did I know it was a school that taught you how to make movies! It had never occurred to me that I'd ever have any interest in filmmaking.

I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.

Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I'm a bit of a geek, actually. So I always wanted my first film to be science fiction.
