I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.

I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.

The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate 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.

To be honest, I don't enjoy watching movies much when I'm working. They tend to fall apart on me a bit.

What drew me to Batman in the first place was Bruce Wayne's story, and that he's a real character whose story begins in childhood. He's not a fully formed character like James Bond, so what we're doing is following the journey of this guy from a child who goes through this horrible experience of becoming this extraordinary character. That, for me, became a three-part story. And obviously the third part becomes the ending of the guy's story.

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.
