I feel more in touch with the world when I'm filming.

I've been wanting for some time to find a way of stylizing cinema and trying to get closer to the emotional story I was telling and get rid of all the bumph that goes with it and allow the audience a more participatory experience. It was an attempt to do all of those things and to express the idea that all these people were just performing roles in their lives.

I was never a kind of superhero fan much growing up, I'm not a kind of comic book kid.

There's good art and there's bad art. A lot of action films are bad art, but Paul Greengrass showed us with the Bourne films that it's possible to make an action film with a political, social conscience.

I was really excited to try 3D and play with it really, again, experiment formally with that extra dimension.

3D doesn't work quite so well with quick cuts and I probably would have done some longer takes had I really taken that information onboard.

I've been lucky over the past few years. Things have just happened for me.
