One of the most amazing locations I've ever been is the top of the volcano in Tanzania, Africa. It's an actual volcano where you really have this lava every day.

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.

When I heard about the first Tomb Raider, I was very interested and I would have liked to have directed that. When I was approached for the second film, I was delighted.

I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.

It's always an enormous pressure when you do a sequel. The demands are so high, and it's expensive.
