Adam and Eve - and especially Eve - are victims of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known. Eve is not secondary. Eve, if anything, is the great initiator in the story.

Because they made me want to believe.
'Indiana Jones' was me growing up. I could quote lines from 'Tango and Cash' as much as I could quote lines from 'The Searchers'.

My parents are amazing. When I said I wanted to go into film, they didn't understand it, but they were incredibly supportive.
