Quotes from Duncan Jones

Be it a video game, comic book, or cheque book, the question always is, 'What story do you have to tell?'

In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it's like to play the game, and that's absolutely not the case.

I am absolutely of the videogames generation, starting on the Atari and Commodore 64 and the Amiga.

That definitely I feel is part of my generation: social networking, communication over the Internet, whether it's Skype or IRC or some form of text-based chat, text messaging.

I saw the drawbacks of fame as a kid. It wasn't for me.

I don't want to build on someone else's legacy. I wanted to establish my own thing.

I want to do my Blade Runner, which is like a future Berlin film, which is like a thriller, but it's much deeper characters, I think.
