I'm very good at meeting people, very outgoing.
I'm no good at the one-liner thing. It's just not me.
I'm awkward around girls.
I'm still pretty terrified of heights.
I'll tell you what I hate - bands like My Chemical Romance.
I wanted to be a journalist for a long time.
I think everyone still thinks I'm 13.
When you have a child, you are just immediately changed forever. You put yourself second. Your child comes first, and everything that you do is with them in mind.
I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it's real, and you're really there.
I never had a father figure so I never missed it.
I love documentaries. It's actually my favorite medium of film.
I love the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies; they're so beautiful to look at. It's such a shame we don't make them anymore. Although, I don't know how you could make tap dancing current and topical.
I often find the smaller, independent films are much more rewarding than the bigger stuff, but you do the bigger stuff because it's a business, and you've got to show your face a bit, get yourself around.
Indiana Jones is very much an old-world kind of hero. He doesn't really have any kind of superpower or rely on any kind of technology to help him out of things.
