I have worn myself thin trying to find out about this comet, and I know very little now in the matter.

'Animal Kingdom' is a lot of things, but it's not heartwarming.

'Animal Kingdom' was an amalgam of two people that I had met-slash-known, not particularly well. They were both very, very scary people for very different reasons.

Someone once pointed out that there are quite a lot of animals in my books, and I'm sure that is something to do with 'The Wind in the Willows.' I must have picked up a rather anthropomorphic view of them.

Before 'Animal Kingdom,' I wasn't particularly thought of in villainous roles.

I really hate the creature film convention that says you have to wait until the end to see the monster. One hour and all you've seen is just the tip of the creature's tail.

Madam: If you discover any more comets, can you not wait until they are announced by the proper authorities?

I laughed when Steven Spielberg said that cloning extinct animals was inevitable. But I'm not laughing anymore, at least about mammoths. This is going to happen. It's just a matter of working out the details.

'Ocean's Kingdom' is a fairy story with no subtext, no resonance - it's not about anything except its water-logged plot.

We all get so excited about the big events, but when there's an animal involved, it's ten times harder.
