Doug Liman

To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.

'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' - every scene is from those characters' point of view. They're in literally every scene, very unusual in a big studio film.

My films are very rooted in specific people's point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters.

James Bond is quite serious about his drinks and clothing and cigarettes and food and all that sort of thing. There is nothing wry or amused about James Bond.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
