Well I didn't actually see the Matrix but I've seen other movies where with similar sorts of themes.

It could be a great script but the director is not the right person for me to work for at this time. So there are a lot of elements that come into play and a lot of variables, but more than anything it's got to be a great script and a great character.

I've made a lot of stupid action films. But when we made The Matrix, we saw that people wanted more than that.

We found in 'The Matrix' that people were willing to accept something more. It was a smarter film.

I would have absolutely messed up 'The Matrix'.

When I did the first 'Matrix,' after it came out, I had a woman come up to me and just thank me for Trinity because she was an action writer. She said she was getting really good opportunities now.

When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.

You know that moment in 'The Matrix' when Neo takes the red pill and is plunged into the real world? That's what it felt like when I first read 'Watchmen' - like someone was taking a can opener to my head to make room for Moore's audacious brilliance.

I read the script. If I like it, I would do anything I am asked to.

It was, when I read it, I thought, such a beautiful script. I loved the story. I thought it was well handled. I thought it was even more moving because it was a true story and that made it even more poignant.
