I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.

I have ideas that I think might be amusing, and I try them, and if they look right, I carry them out, and if they don't, I throw them out and try something else. I don't agonize about it.

Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around.

The things that I've enjoyed most are not really science fiction. They are not much fun to make because there are so many toys involved. They are fun for directors who like toys, like Ridley Scott, but they are not a lot of fun to make. A lot of hanging around, changing this and that.

I wanna make weird stuff.

I have never had too much trouble for creative ideas to spring up in my mind.

Up until now, I had ideas that I wanted to try but didn't have the opportunity to do them.

Think on your toes, use what's around you, and come up with something organic and fun.

Science fiction was never my thing. I have no interest in it. So I don't think I could successfully pull off being on a project like that without really losing my mind.

Everybody has ideas. The vital question is, what do you do with them? My rock musician sons shape their ideas into music. My sister takes her ideas and fashions them into poems. My brother uses his ideas to help him understand science. I take my ideas and turn them into stories.
