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.

Making the films is never easy, but actually that aspect of trying to make a better film or to keep the standard high is something that comes organically.

All we try and do is make the best films we can. If you do that then hopefully the audiences will come, and they have. Everything else is gravy.

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

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.

The films you're making have to be faithful to the material.

But there's something about the simplicity of Auschwitz... there's just nothing. There's just photographs, there's a room full of limbs, a room full of hair, and then you go into the place where the gas chambers were. You walk down these halls and the efficiency of it is so inhuman. The place is so powerful, just for its utter bald, bare simplicity.
