The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.
With all the movies I've made about history, it's not really fun because you're trying to get it right. You've got history telling how it was, and then my imagination is telling me how I wish it had been, but I can't go there, so I have to censor myself. I'm very good about stopping myself from creating history that never occurred, but it's frustrating.
Science fiction really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.
I think that is the secret of great acting. You have to bring your imagination to the party. You've got to have a great imagination.
