People are fascinated, for whatever reason, by human drama, and the idea that cameras are capturing ambient stories.

I'm not a big believer in doing too much research - I think you can get lost in it. You can get constrained by it, which I think is a mistake. But if you've done your homework, the audience feels it.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

Trying to rebuild Afghanistan on the cheap has left the country in the hands of warlords and an impotent Northern Alliance puppet regime that runs Kabul and nothing else.

That strategy of buy and hold, which is the sound and sensible one for the individual, can have very dangerous and perverse effects for the market as a whole.

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