Action Is A Way Of Externalizing An Emotional State. You Might Not Be Running, Leaping, Climbing And Doing All That. But, The Way You Create That Emotional State In A Movie Is By Having The Characters Have Physical Jeopardy That They Have To Work Against.

Here's My Philosophy In Life: If There's A Fire, You Put It Out. If There's A Flood, You Fill Sandbags And You Build A Dike. You Roll Up Your Sleeves And You Get To Work.

So My Message Is In Whichever Realm, Be It Going Into Space Or Going Into The Deep Sea, You Have To Balance The Yin And Yang Of Caution And Boldness, Risk Aversion And Risk Taking, Fear And Fearlessness. No Great Accomplishment Takes Place, Whether It Be A Movie Or A Deep Ocean Expedition, Or A Space Mission, Without A Kind Of Dynamic Equipoise Between The Two. Luck Is Not A Factor. Hope Is Not A Strategy. Fear Is Not An Option.
