The thing about interviews is that if someone interviews you, and they're an idiot, then they make you sound like an idiot, too. They ask you stupid questions, and they bring you down to their level. It's tempting to not ever want to talk to anybody, but you can't do that.

The wonderful thing about 48 fps is the integration of live action and CG elements; that is something I learned from 'The Hobbit.'
