The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies and um and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?

I don't wanna abandon my identity as LL Cool J but at the same time I had to figure out how to let people know that I'm really serious about making these movies.

How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.

I'm not a movie star. People know me but they don't necessarily know what they know me for. I get recognised but it's not like Justin Bieber. It's a nice thing people are cool.

I remember being on film sets when I was younger and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too ' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels.' Starting my production company was a big turning point for me.

I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well but you can't really pet them.

Theaters are always going to be around and doing fine. With computers and technology we're becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don't think the desire for that magic will ever go away.

I think we are at the very beginning of high changes not only in terms of digital film but in the way the movies will be screened whether they'll be screened on phones on computers - on everything.

It's a difficult undertaking. I've been married for four years and I see this movie as a cautionary tale about people who've gone deeply out of communication.

Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously productively and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work it's almost just as fascinating.
