In Writing The New Films, I’ve Come

Rose: You're Trembling. Jack: I'll Be Alright.

I Certainly Didn't Think Of Myself As Gifted. The Standards For Being Gifted In My Environment Were If You Were Good In Little League Or If You Were Good In Football.

We Have Nightmares Because Our Brain Is Running Simulations To Put Us In Jeopardy To See What We'll Do Or To Acclimatize Us To That Idea That Something Bad Could Happen. It's Just How Human Beings Are Wired Because The Entire Time We Were Evolving We Had To Jump Quick Or The Leopard Would Get Us Or Whatever It Was. It's Darwinian.

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.

It's Really The Sense Of Isolation, More Than Anything, Realizing How Tiny You Are Down In This Big Vast Black Unknown And Unexplored Place.
