Fire is our first form of technology.

Sometimes I find I'm wearing a divided, split brain in terms of drama and humor.

One of the problems with science fiction, which is probably one of the reasons why I haven't done one for many, many years, is the fact that everything is used up. Every type of spacesuit is used up, every type of spacecraft is vaguely familiar, the corridors are similar, and the planets are similar.

Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?

I am a science fiction enthusiast, really, deep down.

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

The word 'religion' is only a label. What lies behind that, the most important thing of all, is the word 'faith'. You either have faith, or you don't have faith, or you have degrees of faith - and if you have degrees of faith, then you become agnostic. You're kind of in-between, or you're on the fence.

I knew exactly what to do on Alien, it was funny.

Technology continues to bring us wondrous advances in filmmaking to improve how we view movies.

If you believe, you believe; if you're faithful, you're faithful. I don't care what your religion is. The same if you're agnostic. That should be accepted, too.

For 'Prometheus,' I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the 'Space Jockey' - the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story.

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.

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