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

What I try to do is write from the inside out. I really try to jump into the world of the film and the characters, try to imagine myself in that world rather than imagining it as a film I'm watching onscreen. Sometimes, that means I'm discovering things the way the audience will, with character and story.

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 studied English Literature. I wasn’t a very good student, but one thing I did get from it, while I was making films at the same time with the college film society, was that I started thinking about the narrative freedoms that authors had enjoyed for centuries and it seemed to me that filmmakers should enjoy those freedoms as well.

I'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.

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

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.
