Making Terminators

James Cameron on: The appeal of the Terminator character: "I think it has a great cathartic value to people who wish they could just splinter open the door to their boss`s office, walk in, break his desk in half, grab him by the throat and throw him out the window and get away with it."

The first Terminator - "I was petrified at the start of Terminator. First of all, I was working with a star, at least I thought of him as a star at the time. Arnold came out of it even more a star."

Reasons for not doing Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines: "I'd rather spend a year of my life in hell to make something new, which is what I will be doing."
