But, in each case, as a filmmaker who's been given sizable budgets with which to work, I feel a responsibility to the audience to be shooting with the absolute highest quality technology that I can and make the film in a way that I want.

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.

In Hollywood there's a great openness, almost a voracious appetite for new people. In England there's a great suspicion of the new. In cultural terms, that can be a good thing, but when you're trying to break into the film industry, it's definitely a bad thing.

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.

Batman and Superman are very different characters but they're both iconic and elemental. Finding the right story for them both is the key.

The problem with big films is they snowball very rapidly and you can never pull back. It's a pipeline that needs to be fed.

I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.
