In a science fiction film, you're uniquely responsible to pay respect to the science represented in the movie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science is not the glamour that's portrayed in films. It's a lot of drudgery work, along with the wonderfully exciting periods when you discover something.
If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
Every time you do a movie, it's important for your career, your reputation.
I'm on a crusade to get movie directors to get their science right because, more often than they believe, the science is more extraordinary than anything they can invent.
I'm a bit of a geek, actually. So I always wanted my first film to be science fiction.
What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.
You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.
I think the thing is with a movie that has this much science fiction in it; you need characters who are more science fact, if you know what I mean, than they are human.
The fact that it's science fiction gives you the license to do anything you want to do.
Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction.
