I love fatherhood. I could bang on about kids forever.

I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.

I like death. I'm a big fan of it.

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.

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.

My approach to violence is that if it's pertinent, if that's the kind of movie you're making, then it has a purposeI think there's a natural system in your own head about how much violence the scene warrants. It's not an intellectual process, it's an instinctive process. I like to think it's not violence for the sake of violence and in this particular film, it's actually violence for the annihilation of violence.
