I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.

What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.

One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.

For me relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.

The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies and thrillers and Kurosawa films you know where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.

'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

I think what a lot of action movies lose these days especially the ones that deal with fantasy is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.
