The most stressful and difficult part of steering a large movie is that you are taking on the responsibility of communicating with a very wide audience. You can't ever hide behind the notion of, 'Okay, they just don't get it,' or, 'Certain people just don't get it.' You have to be mindful of the size of your audience, and you have to communicate in a way that lets them in.

I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.

It's very important that a film that intends to play tricks on the audience... has to play fair with the audience. For me, any time you're going to have a reveal in the film, it's essential that it have been shown to the audience as much as possible. What that means is that some people are going to figure it out very early on. Other people not til the end. Everybody watches the film differently.

The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it.

One of the things you do as a writer and as a filmmaker is grasp for resonant symbols and imagery without necessarily fully understanding it yourself.

If I could steal someone's dream myself, I'd have to go for one of Orson Welles.

A camera is a camera, a shot is a shot, how you tell the story is the main thing.
