I've always been attracted to films which explore the qualities of courage.

There are a lot of films that explore sci-fi, ... What attracted me to the script is the fact that this film stands on its own. The characters and their relationships are interesting by themselves, without the creature element. In many ways it's a modern day 'Lord of the Flies.'

'Indiana Jones' wasn't physically tough, but they are the only two films I've ever been ill on. On 'The Last Crusade,' I got sciatica. That's when the sciatic nerve, which goes through the funny hole in your pelvis down your leg, swells and rubs against the nerves.

Just think about it: in every shop in the reading world since 1956, there has been two feet of book-space devoted to Tolkien.

I'm not usually attracted to big-budget American films.

I've always been attracted to action stuff.
