I love different themes, different venues, different movies. I love to jump about and tackle different subjects. I have no intellectual master plan.

Good FBI officers are not noticeable. You would never look at them.

I also love Australian movies. I love Muriel's Wedding - I've seen in six times. Baz Luhrmann's best movie is strictly ballroom... without question.

You step forward and make it real for a start. You choose a sensible moment in history. Funnily enough, England was bankrupt and the moment is the death of Richard The Lionheart...

I think going into space would be like going deep into the ocean, like 5,000 meters down. When you go down that far, it's just awfully black. There's not much there except mud and some particles. I imagine space would be a similar thing. The only difference is you're hoping to bump into some sort of intelligent extraterritorial being.

That's part of the policy: To keep switching gears.

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.

I do like to make films with a political theme, but sometimes it's nice simply to make people laugh. That's the hardest thing to do in fact.

Nowadays, everything's evolved into superheroes and it's boring. If I see one more superhero movie I'm going to shoot myself.

I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.

A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.

I believe all of us only use one tenth of our brain. I know people who use one per cent only!

But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.
