I Was Brought Up A Very Strict

Actors Want To Impress At The Beginning, So You Take Advantage Of That By Suddenly Saying, 'right, You're Here For Two Weeks.' What You're Doing Is Creating A Siege Mentality.

The Great Thing About Space Films Generally, With The Exception Of Apollo 13, Is That Big Stars Tend Not To Work In Space And I Think That's Because Space Is An Equaliser. It Makes Everyone The Same Really And Suits An Ensemble Cast And Actors Who Are Prepared To Work With Each Other.

Normally, I'm A Very Controlling Director. Directors Are Controlling. It's Part Of The Job, But There's Various Degrees Of It And The Constructs I Normally Work On Are Very Controlling Constructs.

I Haven't Got Anything Against Films That Are About The Minutia Of Relationships Or Customs, But I Love Extremes. I Love Taking A Bunch Of Characters And It Usually Is A Bunch Of Characters, And You Throw Something At Them That's Usually Extreme, Like A Bag Of Money, Or You Send Them Out To Explode A Nuclear Device On The Surface Of The Sun. And Those Extremes Are Wonderful For Drama.

If I Was Single And Did Not Have Kids, I Wonder Whether If I Would Try As Hard To Be Patient, To Mind How I React To Situations. Not Saying People Who Do Not Have Children Don't, But In My Life And How I Fight Against Doing The Things That Have Positive Impact In My Life...i Think I Would Find It Easier Not To Practice The Principles Did I Not Have Children.
