The name of Summer Glau's character Cameron (Phillips) in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was intended as a homage to James, the writer and director of the original Terminator movies. He also wrote for the TV series.
(edit)
James is a member of the American Cinema Editors society (ACE).
(edit)
James is a big fan of Japanese anime.
(edit)
James was a voracious reader in high school. Science fiction being a primary interest, he immersed himself in books by Arthur C. Clarke, A.E. Van Vogt, Harlan Ellison, and Larry Niven.
(edit)
James is the eldest of five children. His mom was a housewife while his father was an electrical engineer.

James: (message to aspiring directors) I tell them that no two people will ever do it the same way, and there is nothing I can say that will help you. Whatever your talents are, whatever your strengths and weaknesses, you have to find the path that's going to work for you.
(edit)
James: (on his achievements) I think chance is not a big factor in the long run. It can be a huge factor in the short run, being at the right place at the right time. But even with that chance, the critical factor is being able to recognize a true opportunity and seize it the moment it presents itself, and not wait and over think it, because it will pass.
(edit)
James: (on the future of film, in an interview on April 2007) I can imagine the dense fantasy worlds I like to create for movies having an equal or greater life in a world of interactive play, authored by others, in a partnership. Of course, add massive multiplayer capability to this, and people will never leave their homes.
(edit)
James: (on the filmmaking technology Performance Capture) I expect that more filmmakers will embrace the technique and apply it to different types of scenarios. For the creation of fantasy and science-fiction characters, Perfcap will largely replace makeup and prosthetics.
(edit)
James: (on "2001: A Space Odyssey") As soon as I saw that, I knew I wanted to be a filmmaker. It hit me on a lot of different levels. I just couldn't figure out how he did all that stuff, and I just had to learn.
