You can't really micro-manage. You'll never make the movie in 52 days, if you micro-manage. If you do that, you take the creativity away from people because people just really quickly become disinterested when they're always being told how to do it.

If you take away 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan', I like 'Minority Report' a lot.

[There, in War Horse] very little CGI. What happened there - because the horse was running very close to the trench, we had a rider. So in few instances, we had a rider dressed in a green suit. The rider would guide the horse through the frame, and through CGI [we removed] the rider. But that's about it.

It would be horrible to be micro-managed! I don't think directors can really micro-manage people. It's just impossible.

It's very hard to go to Monument Valley and not think of John Ford's films.

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

I do like 'Munich'.It's a really wonderful film. I mean, there's 'Schindler's List', there's 'Saving Private Ryan'. But 'Munich' - of all the other films, Munich would be the one that's really, really amazing storytelling.
