drove man phil
I think Phil Dick was particularly interesting in that, first of all, he was a very modern man and a very modern thinker, but I don't know what demons drove him.
everybody
What's interesting to me about Moses isn't the big stuff that everybody knows.
When you're watching a documentary, the danger is to romanticize.
people
The people who really resurrected 'Blade Runner' was 'MTV.'
When you think about it, 'Avatar' is almost completely an animated movie.
meet possible second visual walks
When I meet an actor that I think is going to be possible is from the second he walks through the door, because it's a visual medium.
hour
There are some moments that are pretty distressing in 'Prometheus.' In fact, the last hour is pretty distressing.
movies tend
I tend to watch a lot of lower-budget movies to find out what's doing down there and find out who's coming up.
kicking learned stop stopped time
I think over time I've learned to stop being a screamer and get interactive; otherwise, you get killed in Hollywood. I stopped being a screamer shortly after 'Blade Runner,' kicking doors and things like that, because I wasn't actually getting anywhere.
alone buy faith form life matter
It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.
gradually key study worse
I think there's nothing worse than inertia. You can be inert and study your navel, and gradually fall off the chair. I think the key is to keep flying.
men
I think there are a lot of men who feel they're being emasculated by having the woman be in charge; I've never had that problem.
people
People have no idea how physically tough doing a film is.
fiction opened quite science stanley work
Stanley Kubrick's '2001' was the door that opened up the possibility of science fiction for me. Everything else up to then was fine, but didn't quite work for me.
