I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?

In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can't quite do it as much anymore.

I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.

The blue collar milieu was something that I really understood and resonated with me and I thought was underrepresented in American cinema.

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.

I quite like it when you're working with people and you only get to know them through the scenes that you're doing together.

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.
