I think a big part of my job is to make an atmosphere on set and have an attitude that it's about experimentation, and you can't do anything wrong. It's not about judgment, it's not about me kicking over a chair and storming onto set and acting stuff out and telling people to copy what I do. That is a style of directing some people have, but I don't understand it.

The things that inspire people to think are what keeps a film alive.

Doctor Who is pretty dark, I think. Generally its dark; its always been dark.

You can muscle your way to the top as long as you're part of the production, which I am. I'm knitted into the money, so it's very hard to extricate me from the decision-making dynamic.

Lots of crime films are about work. Free Fire could have been about a company of plumbers doing pipe-fixing and stuff. But the plumbing film is not so exciting.

If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.

The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.
