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.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

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

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
