Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)

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

The film that really struck me was Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. That was a film I watched many, many times and found endlessly fascinating in it's density. I think the density of that film is primarily visual density, atmospheric, sound density, moreso than narrative density.

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.

When I look at a digitally acquired and projected image, it looks inferior against an original negative anamorphic print or an IMAX one.

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

By the time I was 10 or 11, I knew I wanted to make films.
