I had very little involvement with 'TinTin'. Very little involvement. So I can't really elaborate on that either.

There are films that are difficult. There are films that would actually affect your personal life because of the length of the production, how long [you're away] from the family.

We have not looked at any particular movies [in creating War Horse], but again, it's hard not to see the similarities between those movies [because of those filmmakers' influence on the industry].

The greatest directors are the greatest users. They use people's talents to tell the story that they want to tell.

I just directed another picture called 'American Dream' with Nick Stahl. Just finished shooting principal photography right before I started ['Lincoln'].

[I] love 'Munich', man. That's a very underappreciated film.

These days, you'd probably shoot it in the daylight and manipulate it in the post. That's [how] most people would do it. [I did the same thing with] with 'Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. No CGI. It's all live photography. And I like that, it's very challenging and exciting to be able to do that.
