For me 'Dune' was a dream - a big dream!

I like to go and watch 'Blade Runner,' which made no sense but which I loved going into that world. I think people loved going into the world of 'Dune' with all of its problems.

I have this personal affinity for the desert. I am fascinated by the desert. I love it.

My dream is to one day own a country house on the shore in England, have gotten married, wipe some debt off and get a few more good films.

If I could go back in time and tell my younger self that eventually that I'd become very successful writing Dune books after Frank Herbert's death, I would have laughed myself silly, I think, at how strange that prospect would be.

Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes.

On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.

I still dream about doing something simple, very simple and universal.

I really believe my films are going to be successful, that I'm making 'The Blair Witch Project' - something that will transcend expectations and resonate with people.

I have an enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet.
