I like stories that have a social impact and social attributes to them. That's the whole reason we make films: to broaden our limited view of things and to see how life is evolving elsewhere.

I like human stories. I like stories about situations we can relate to. I like movies like 'Ordinary People' or 'Terms of Endearment.' Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, boyfriends, girlfriends. The stories to me that are worth telling are almost simple ones, but very relatable.

I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

I love the kind of movies I watched when I was a kid. But, I also love telling great stories.

I've always been a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. I like working with larger-than-life characters in fascinating worlds - places where the rules are different.

I don't mind UFO's and ghost stories, it's just that I tend to give value to the storyteller rather than to the story itself.

It's the imagination that is involved in sci-fi, and fantasy is what draws me to it. Stories, everything.

I like stories that grow, that have unpredictable layers. As opposed to Hollywood movies that start out with a lot of shock and noise and peter out into an unconvincing cliche.

I love sci-fi and fantasy.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.
