I don't think you can be a director without a kind of sense of competitiveness.

I got a few things, because I think the props are so beautiful as much as anything else. The detail of the work is something that one has no idea of.

I look forward to having the time and the opportunity to take on new challenges, but I'm also aware that I've loved every minute of the 'Potter 'experience: to make films for an enthusiastic audience and work with great material.

I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.

Because actually it's really hard to get things made. It takes years. To fight the fights you inevitably have to fight, even when you've produced Harry Potter, you'd better have the commitment and the passion to knock down walls, not take no for an answer.

The most important thing is that you have to have the visual effects working for you, instead of you working for the visual effects.

We tell the stories that we want to tell.
