I want people to think about everyone in their life, and their responsibilities to their friends, their families and their country.

People have different goals, when you start out making a movie. If the goal is darkness and destruction and despair, it's not like, "Hey, let's go to set, and then let's hit the bar afterwards. Let's jaunt into London and pick up some Chinese food." No, you go home from set and you go fight at the gym, and then you go to sleep. You stay in it. You never excuse yourself, you never take it easy on yourself, you never eat good food.

But as far as those movies, my concern is this show.

I've never been a big gore guy.

I think any time you can go after an audience that isn't built in, that's the job.

If you can figure out how to get paid to do something you love, that's the dream.
