What I love about IMAX is with its extraordinary resolution and color reproduction it's a very rich image with incredible detail. It lends itself wonderfully to huge shots with much in the frame. Thousands of extras and all the rest.

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.

As soon as television became the only secondary way in which films were watched, films had to adhere to a pretty linear system, whereby you can drift off for ten minutes and go and answer the phone and not really lose your place.

I've always believed that if you want to really try and make a great film, not a good film, but a great film, you have to take a lot of risks.

I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.

Yeah, it's odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don't look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot, actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I've done in terms of what I'm going to do in the future, mistakes I've made and things at work or what have you.

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