You musn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

You never quite know what you're going to come back to and figure out how to make it work. You never quite know where that desire to finish something, or return to something in a fresh way, is going to come from. Every time I finished a film and went back and looked at it, I had changed as a person.

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.

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

I don't particularly enjoy watching films in 3D because I think that a well-shot and well-projected film has a very three-dimensional quality to it, so I'm somewhat sceptical of the technology.

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