If I could find a way to make a film that takes you into the mind of a fighter, where you have 36 minutes of combat with so many different emotions, so many highs and lows, so many obstacles to overcome, I'd do that.

If I could find anything blacker than black, I'd use it.

If I could sing, I wouldn't be a guitarist.

I wanted to do a naval film and I flirted with different ideas, most of which ended up being too intense. So when the idea of 'Battleship' was first suggested, I was instantly drawn to the challenge - could I invent a movie around the idea of five ships fighting five ships?

If I could live in a cabaret, I would. If I could live in 'Moulin Rouge,' I would.

If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
