I want people to come see my films and enjoy them but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.

I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.

People want to know if I have a moral standpoint that they should be picking up on, and the truth is, I don't. I don't want people to think that I'm trying to tell them to feel a certain way. I think that's cheap filmmaking.

I feel I have a political duty to reach out to the general public. I want to make films that the people want to see. So if the people want to see Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise, then it is really my job to incorporate them into my films.

I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.

I think the level of devotion some sci-fi fans display turns other people off.

If I have any audience, they can know that anything I am in, I would go see, with the expectation of being really satisfied.

Films don't decide my whole life. They are just a part of who I am. What I do in my personal life should be of no concern to the filmmakers or the fans.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.
