What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.

The English countryside is the most staggeringly beautiful place. I can't spend as much time there as I like, but I like everything about it. I like fishing, I like clay- pigeon shooting.

It's OK to have beliefs, just don't believe in them.

I live on a bicycle...I live in central London, probably 90 percent of my travel is done on a bicycle. I love bicycles.

I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film.

My principal job is to make interesting and entertaining films, and I'm not proud of which format or which particular technique I use. I just wanted the film to look good.

We're not unique. We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.
