I'm quite spontaneous in my decisions often. Your career is kind of what happens whilst you're busy developing other screenplays, and so it came out of the blue.

I was known for a while for doing very long takes, especially after Atonement.

Modern, not bottom-dwelling literature like a carp.

My father was 65 when I was born so we didn't have much time together.

I worked hard, but I was lucky the right people happened to see my work.

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