I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.
Christopher NolanDon't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me!

They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster.

Christopher NolanI 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.

Christopher NolanIt's very important that a film that intends to play tricks on the audience... has to play fair with the audience. For me, any time you're going to have a reveal in the film, it's essential that it have been shown to the audience as much as possible. What that means is that some people are going to figure it out very early on. Other people not til the end. Everybody watches the film differently.
