It's really cool I get to be part of this 'Jurassic Park' universe.

I loved dinosaurs, I loved space, and I thought maybe I'd be the first paleo-astronaut.

I had to travel into the future and direct 'Jurassic World' as myself in 20 years - and I did.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a palaeontologist. I wanted to dig up dinosaurs.

In pre-school, I was drawing dinosaurs - I was huge into dinosaurs. I wanted to be a paleontologist, not a cartoonist or a filmmaker or anything like that - just a paleontologist. So I would draw dinosaurs.

I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.

I want to be in a Tim Burton movie so bad.

I dreamed of becoming a scientist, in general, and a paleontologist, in particular, ever since the Tyrannosaurus skeleton awed and scared me.

I wanted to be Dustin Hoffman or Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. I thought I was going to be a dramatic actor, but comedy sort of started out first, and I was like, 'Maybe I'll find some more drama later on in my career.'
