I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

In terms of long-term durable storage, the human mind, paradoxically, is pretty good, but it's very fragile.

I believe we should be good custodians of the Earth.

I grew up watching 'Magnum, P.I.' and shows like that, where you could develop a character over eight seasons, with stories along the way.

My earliest memories are making little Super 8 films - or watching my brother make stop-motion space spectaculars.

I consider my job as a screenwriter to pack a script with possibilities and ideas - to create a feast for the filmmaker to pick from.

I love crime procedurals. I always have. I love cop shows.

One of the things I love about working with my brother is that there's a commitment there - an unwavering commitment. From our basement in Illinois when I was three years old to Iceland on a frozen glacier with Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon in spacesuits - there's a commitment to the pure spectacle, the pure cinema of it.

I'd grown up in the U.K., where the surveillance apparatus went into place in the 1970s in response to the Troubles with the IRA. When I was a kid, we moved to Chicago, and I was surprised to see you could live in a large city in which you didn't have cameras on every street corner.

I'm a big gamer. I know the lead time and how long it takes to develop a game and how hard it is to get it right.

I'm a big fan of the Mass Effect games, and that's all about social manipulation and observing people and alliances and relationships.

It's always gratifying to hear that people are excited by something that you've been excited to make.

I was a big Batman fan when I was a kid.

I'm not affiliated with either Wikileaks or Anonymous - of course, it's not like I would tell you anyway if I were because the whole point is to be anonymous.

When you're doing a film called 'Interstellar,' at some point - the idea was to be grounded in the science as much as possible - but with a name like 'Interstellar,' you had better go somewhere big and bold.
