What's interesting to me about Moses isn't the big stuff that everybody knows.

The very first film I ever saw was a pirate movie called 'The Black Swan' with Tyrone Power. And I thought that was great stuff. Of course, in those days, Technicolor was really Technicolor; there was no such thing as desaturation. Everybody looked super suntanned.

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.

I want a certificate that allows me to make as big a box office as possible.

Hubble knows there is interesting stuff out there, but Hubble isn't quite big enough.

When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
