The movie is fiction, ... We'd like to keep it that way.

There's not really much destruction in New York besides the weather and it's a natural force so it's not like any destruction. But LA gets leveled (laughs). That's my comment to Hollywood.

We thought it best to go with science fiction because you can tweak reality and the audience can suspend belief.

In the modern world there's no such thing as formality. A dinner jacket used to mean a tuxedo, you know?

We never had a giant library or owned a lot of commercial characters the way most studios did. And since we didn't have a lot of internal resources, we had to find ways to be inventive and resourceful, which I think is a healthy way to run a good business.
