Duncan Jones

You would never have seen me on any party scene, which is probably what made me able to disappear, in a way, because the tabloids had nothing to follow.

I was a sensitive boy.

Bowie is my dad's stage name, so I was never, ever called Zowie Bowie. The tabloids liked that because it rhymed.

It's always nerve-racking, showing your parents things you've been working on.

I think if you're young and you're being compared with a successful family member, it's really hard to maintain any sense of self-worth and credibility.

I love my work, but I don't like being in the spotlight. I was never going to be an actor, that's for sure.

I'd love to do a Western.

I love J. G. Ballard. I love authors who take the world as we know it and just tweak one thing and say, 'What if the world were like this?'

I love incredibly imaginative, speculative sci-fi.

Science-fiction cities in general, I think, are so hard to get right, because it's so easy to just play some cheesy music or do something that takes you right out of it, but 'Blade Runner' got it right, and I love that about the film.

One of the things I think is unique and signature about Blizzard is that whenever they do their games, and with 'Warcraft' in particular, they take the things they love and put a twist on it. They showed that heroes can come from the most unexpected places, and as a player, you can play as a hero, on all sides.

I love games, and I feel they've been sold short shrift in films so far.
