The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.

We shouldn't be chasing other movies, but stay true to the tone of Man of Steel.

We all wake up in the morning wanting to live our lives the way we know we should. But we usually don't, in small ways. That's what makes a character like Batman so fascinating. He plays out our conflicts on a much larger scale.

The real truth of that is that much as you want to believe that it's you being on top of everything, you're actually relying massively on the people around you.

Say you have a headline like "Mountain Bike Stolen," and then you read the story, read another story about it the next day, and then the next week, and then the next year. News is a process of expansion, the filling in of detail, and making narrative connections - not based on chronology, but based on features of the story. There are narrative connections made between props, between characters, between situations, and so forth.

The term 'genre' eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started.

Every film should have its own world, a logic and feel to it that expands beyond the exact image that the audience is seeing.
