I would never say someone's else's film isn't 'a real film.' The quote is inaccurate.

Heist movies tend to be a bit superficial, glamorous, and fun. They don't tend to be emotionally engaging.

I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.

I never meet anybody who actually likes the format, and it’s always a source of great concern to me when you’re charging a higher price for something that nobody seems to really say they have any great love for.

Revenge is a particularly interesting concept, especially the notion of whether or not it exists outside of just an abstract idea.

The structural notions to me always have to be worked out very carefully in the script stage. Whatever a particular structure is. Whether it's chronological or non-chronological. To me that's always about what point of view are we trying to address in the film?

In Hollywood there's a great openness, almost a voracious appetite for new people. In England there's a great suspicion of the new. In cultural terms, that can be a good thing, but when you're trying to break into the film industry, it's definitely a bad thing.
