Christopher NolanI like films that don't have that unonimity of a response; that don't have consensus in the audience.

Indeed, sometimes these things are even overstated. Specifically, for that reason.
Christopher NolanWhen you start really thinking about the potential of the human mind and its ability to create an entire world while you're sleeping, I come away feeling like our minds are not remotely understood by science.
Christopher NolanWhat 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.
